Maude?

I just saw this name on a kid's show today and all the other characters called her Maudie. Suddenly this name seemed adorable.

Thoughts?

If not, what name would you pair with Tabitha?

Matilda

My first instinct was the lovely Claudia - imo a subtle Biblical with a vague cat association like Tabitha. They are also both slightly quirky feeling to me and well known, yet not over popular.

Maude feels quite different to Tabitha imo - more a trendy vintage/old-fashioned feel. Matilda (with the traditional nn of Maud if wanted) would work better style-wise with Tabitha to me.

Keziah/Cassia, Verity, Felicity, Juliet, Roxana, Celia and Susannah also came to mind as having a similar style to Tabitha to me.

Yes I really like it, they go together but have a nicely different sound. Jane or Jean might do a similar job. Beatrice nn Bea, Frances or Edith also,

Eloise, Jemima, Delilah all feel very similar - maybe too matchy/twee as a pair

Verity, Marianne, Louisa, Adela, Emmeline, Claudia, Matilda, Rosemary or Susannah all go well

I don't think Maude goes well with Tabitha at all. It's very meh compared.

ladycarlotta · 31/05/2021 21:07

Aww. Maude is sweet. Can't believe so few people are feeling the Maude love here.

Chunkymenrock · 31/05/2021 21:06

Hebe or Coco.

feellikezerobucks · 31/05/2021 21:06

Definitely Felicity (fifi or cici)

I have a Tabitha and her sister would definitely be Felicity 😍

Cecily is beautiful

ElizabethinherGermanGarden · 31/05/2021 21:00

Cicely or Cecily

I think Maude is a very elegant name. Very strong. No one would ever dare mess with a Maude.

Tamara

Please not Maude

ColintheCrow · 31/05/2021 20:56

Not called Elspeth obvs 🤦🏻‍♀️

ColintheCrow · 31/05/2021 20:55

I have a Tabitha, her youngest sibling would have been Elspeth. He was a boy though.

Monkeytennis97 · 31/05/2021 20:54

Freya was the first name to come to me.

blameitonthecaffeine · 31/05/2021 20:53

I really don't like Maud. The only time I've heard it for a child is in the Worst Witch but they all have very old fashioned names so I'm guessing it was first published a very long time ago. I've never looked.

I think Tabitha goes with:
Annabelle, Beatrice, Bethany, Clarissa, Cassandra, Delilah, Elianna, Eliza, Florence, Felicity, Giselle, Georgina, Harriet, Hermione, Imogen, Isabelle, Joanna, Juliette, Katherine, Lydia, Lilianna, Miranda, Madeleine, Nadia, Natasha, Olivia, Ophelia, Philippa, Penelope, Phoebe, Rosanna, Rosalie, Sylvia, Saskia, Vanessa, Victoria, Vivienne

Maude is not lyrical and vivacious enough to compete with Tabitha as a sib set
