I can't decide if I really like this or not...other names on our list are Claudia, Ada and maybe Meredith.

Thought please!

Love it!

Dogsmom · 30/10/2012 15:45

I'm not keen, it's a bit harsh like Gretchen, Claudia is lovely.

NotChristmasCarol · 30/10/2012 15:46

Really like it and find it more striking than your other choices, nice as they are (although I'm least certain about Ada).

crazybutterflylady · 30/10/2012 15:51

I've got a Tabitha already, if that makes a difference...

Absolutely love it. Also love Claudia. Not sure about Meredith, and don't like Ada, too old lady and not in a cool way, sorry.

GorierTechnicolarghhhhh · 30/10/2012 17:04

Love it.

baskingseals · 30/10/2012 17:43

yes love Greta - i think Tabitha and Greta sound really good together. good choice. i also love Marta which i think is a similiar sort of name.

Polkadotfanatic · 30/10/2012 18:04

even though it's Greta not Gretyl, it reminds me of the Von Trapp kids - especially as poster above has put Marta too. Beautiful names - would you also consider Louisa? or Liesl

:)

Names which go well with Tabitha in my opinion are:

Claudia (as mentioned)
Evelyn
Francesca
Florence

Good luck :)

I reallly like Meredith, I think it goes very well with Tabitha.

I'm not too kean on Greta.

Otterpop · 31/10/2012 21:31

I think its a bit too harsh sounding I'm afraid. I absolutely love all your other choices you mention though!

mathanxiety · 01/11/2012 01:21

It's gorgeous and much nicer than the other names on your list imo.
Goes very nicely with Tabitha.

deleted203 · 01/11/2012 01:23

It's a bit Germanic IMO. And a bit harsh sounding. I like Meredith better.

PerryCombover · 01/11/2012 01:35

Greta is lovely, all your names are great

birdofthenorth · 01/11/2012 11:26

Oh I love Greta. And Claudia. Think Ada would be mistaken for Ava a lot in the UK ATM.

Pasiphae · 01/11/2012 12:43

Greta is superb, much better than the others on the list. Except Ada who is cool too.

forevergreek · 01/11/2012 13:11

I hunk Gretal is softer. Greta is old German lady

VolumeOfACone · 01/11/2012 13:16

I like Greta. Your other names are nice too, except Ada, which for some reason I find dull.

MadamFolly · 02/11/2012 13:48

A bit Germanic for me, also too close to Gretyl for comfort.

Meredith is a lovely name and goes nicely with Tabitha.

WindUpBird · 02/11/2012 22:04

Love Ada and Greta, not so keen on the other two names...
