Thoughts on Tabitha please

Now this is my all time fave girls name but dh was against it last two pregnancies so ended up with a Charlotte and a Molly. He thinks Tabitha is a cats name.

He is starting to come round as he knows how much I love it (I think he could be bribed! )

He really wants Lucy though. I would just like some thoughts from other people. Don't worry if you hate it, thats fine, I love it so much I don't care but am just interested in other peoples reactions

Tabitha is ok but I would be worried about nicknames.

I really like Tabitha, prefer it to Lucy

Lucy wouldn't inspire me. My DD shares a name with one of your daughters, so it's not like I'm opposed to traditional names. I like Tabitha but not sure about the nicknames i.e. Tab. Having said that, you might have seen the thread I started so the same could be said for my current choice.

Yup, cat and the kid off Bewitched! It is really pretty though.

Love it.

Great name.

I wanted it too but the cat theory won out!

I love it - wanted to call my dd this but she just didn't look like a Tabitha when she was born!
