I love the name Tabitha Wren. Honest opinions please

I like Tabitha but not Wren. But you don't normally know people's middle names so not sure it matters much.

It is a bit dinky doo. Sweet for a tiny baby in a cradle. Not so much for a teen with acne or a forty year old high court judge.

I'm really sorry, OP, but this is giving me Beatrix Potter vibes . . .

Such a shame as I really like the name Wren but I don't feel it pairs well with Tabitha

I like it! I've only ever known one Tabitha, also known as Tabby. As it's a 'known but not overly common name', it is not one that I used to get tired of hearing when I was a teacher!

I know a little Wren. At four, she is quite the force of nature 😁

I don’t like Wren really, but as a middle name I don’t think it matters much anyway.

Tabitha is a bit jolly hockey sticks for me.

But you could put literally any name on here and find people who don’t like it. So pick what you like!

I love Tabitha but Wren is one of my most disliked names which I appreciate is a me problem and I’m in the minority. I just really don’t like how it sounds, I find it quite harsh.

It’s lovely 🥰

Love Tabitha, wren is totally fine as a middle name. Overall pretty name and I’m quite picky.

Thank you, what’s your thoughts on Wren?

I think it's lovely, slightly on the twee side, but imo that's a good thing.

Sorry, I don’t like it at all. I would also be fearful Tabitha would be shortened to Tabby which is worse.

What don’t you like if you dont mind?
