All of them lovely. Less keen on Jemima and Eleanor

Abigail - Nice, though Abi as a nn isn't so nice and quite common.

Isobel - Lovely if the popularity doesn't put you off.

Jemima - Like the puddleduck lol. No, at best it's a doll's name.

Eleanor - Nice by itself but like Abigail you're going to end up with a very common nn i.e. Ellie, Ella, Elle.

Tabitha - By far the best, fab name.

like them all except Jemima. Tabitha's my favourite

LOVE Abigail

Lots of Isobel(la)s, although tis a pretty name, not keen on Tabitha and like Eleanor and Jemima

Hulababy · 13/01/2009 17:23

Of the list I prefer Isobel

chancelloroftheexCHEQUERS · 13/01/2009 17:23

I only really like Isobel and Eleanor.

Love Isobel spelt like that, is that the Irish spelling?

You have very good taste and I really like them all, maybe Abigail a little less but not much.
