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!

We have Tabitha on our list for a dd2 (if this bump is a dd...)

dd1 is Beatrice nn Betty
Other names on our list are:
Flora
Angelica
Stella
Hermione

Tiana is quite similar to Tabitha I think. We have a Tiana, a Clementine (Clemmie) and a Kitty :) I like Ramona too.

Hey, I met Tanita Tikaram in a lesbian bar in Paris
She was still looking good.

Telsa, I remember her. Very deep voice, very impressive looker.
Tanith is another name similar - pretty unusual without being strange.

Tanita? Anyone remember Tanita Tikaram, the singer?
I always think Natasha has a similiar aspirate sound to Tabitha.

Hetty

Kitty.
OK, doesn't end in an 'a' but still. It's the first name that sprang to mind.

Matilda is hugely popular as well, isn't it? I mean it is where I am (Australia) - I know 3 under 5 already!

I like Harriet/Hattie...

For me Ramona and Beatrix are gorgeous and a tad mischievous like Polly and Tabitha are.

[persephoneplum]

I adore Tabitha and think Beatrix is right up the same alley. That said, I think you should stick with Tabitha.

Agatha with Taggie for short.

We had Polly on our shortlist for DD2 but plumped for Jemima in the end - so maybe we have the same sort of mindset? FYI dd1 is called Harriet (Hattie) - Polly and Hattie are great together!

Tanith?

I sort of bracket Tabitha with Jemima-not sure why-probably Beatrix Potter.

oh, also forgot Elspeth. I love this, and I think it is quite like Tabitha. Nice nickname Elspie too.

Polly and Elspeth.

We have a Tabitha, and I also love Sylvia, it's SUCH a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning.

Also Cordelia.
