Tabitha or Vivienne

Always loved the name Vivienne but recently I've fallen in love with Tabitha and Bibi (bee-bee) as a nickname possibly at home. Not fussed on nicknames so it's not a deal breaker. Can take or leave them and open to variables.

Which do you prefer

Vivienne or Tabitha ?

Quite 50/50 which isn't helping Smile

I do love them both
I love Vivi as nickname too.
Vivienne seems really elegant (although I do get the Pretty Woman association!) to me. Quite timeless

Tabitha (again, I get the cat/witch association!) just has something quite beautiful about it. Maybe I like it the way the name looks written down

Not sure if having a girl or boy, so this could be completely for nothing. We're keeping the sex a surprise until birth

Thank you for the input

Vivienne by far.

Tabitha reminds me of a name that should be for a cat

Tabitha!

Definitely Tabitha. Vivienne reminds me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.
