Thoughts? My dh has mentioned it a few times now and it's really growing on me.

I like known/familiar names which aren't super popular, I also like Tabby as a nickname.

The cat association doesn't bother me.

Tia.

Thanks so much for your feedback. As I said in my original post, the cat thing doesn't bother me. I think we're onto a winner 😊😊😊

I had a kat called Tabitha as a kid but it was still on my girls name list. I love the magical nature of it it think with a name like that you'd be a free spirit.

I have one; we call her Tibs for short.

I really love it. In fact I sometimes call dd Tabitha even though it’s not her name!

I use to have a teddy as a kid called Tabitha Grin Although I have vastly gone off the name since...

andthenthereweresix · 22/12/2018 02:09

I have a Tabitha we call her tabby or tabs, we love it

Love it. The character from Jilly Cooper (Tabitha Campbell Black) is a right wilful child and I loved the name from that alone.

Bluebonnieblue · 22/12/2018 01:27

LOVE it! It's cool, biblical, vintage, uncommon... Perfect!

Sophronia · 21/12/2018 23:52

I prefer Talitha

Frozenteatowel · 21/12/2018 23:27

Really love it. Only ever known one.

Triskaidekaphilia · 21/12/2018 22:36

It is a bit of a cat name but I like it anyway!

Picknickers · 21/12/2018 22:21

Lovely...for a girl/woman! My friend is known as Tabs. She's great and so is her name.

SilverySurfer · 21/12/2018 22:15

Lovely ..... for a cat.

jackio2205 · 21/12/2018 22:03

You like it, sod what anyone else thinks Smile

Kintan · 21/12/2018 22:02

I love it, it’s number one on our short list. It’s a timeless name - not too trendy, but also not too old-fashioned.

Phebes · 21/12/2018 21:59

Love it and love Tabby for short!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 21/12/2018 21:30

I love it.

TheCag · 21/12/2018 20:32

I love it, no different to using Felix for a boy (in terms of the cat comments you will receive!)

lilybetsy · 21/12/2018 19:46

I love it.

Idontneedyourjudgement · 21/12/2018 19:15

We have a Tabs!my husband suggested it and I loved it from the get go....go for it!

Narya · 21/12/2018 19:13

Outside of MN I've only ever heard it used for cats. Not a fan I'm afraid (even for cats)

TheHobbitMum · 21/12/2018 19:10

I have a Tabitha and she loves her nickname (Tabby). It's a great name!

Whatififall · 21/12/2018 19:09

I love it, it was a serious contender when I had DD.
