A name like Tabitha, that isn't Tabitha!

[walkbesideme]

Hi

Expecting in 3 weeks. We already have a Polly. We loved the name Tabitha for our 2nd child until we moved to the country, and found there are loads here already.

So we're looking for something that is of a similar ilk and I was wondering if you had any suggestions?

What I like about Tabitha is that it ends in an 'a', but that is not essential. Also we can't have another name beginning with 'P'!

THanks for any ideas!

btw, fab name choice! We also have a Polly DD1, and these are some of the names I considered for DD2 (including her actual name!)

I always think that Tabitha and Matilda are very similar names.

Agatha?

I wonder whether Talitha is too similar to Tabitha - will people simply assume that she is Tabitha?

[tummytickler]

Constance, Martha, Beatrice, Jemima, Willow, Laurel and Harriet all have a similar vibe to Tabitha I think, and all work well with Polly (although maybe not Constance/Connie)

[picklepepper]

I immediately thought of Martha, when I read that your DD1 is Polly.
I also really like Alethea, I think it has similarities to Tabitha, without being too similar.

[redkingsley]

Well before I read why you like Tabitha, I thought Dorcas (Tabitha and Dorcas are one in the same person in the Bible)
but

I agree with Matilda and Martha.

[Snapespeare]

We have a Tabitha - If she had had a sister (or two!) they would have been called Matilda and Clementine.
