So SIL stole our baby name! Shock

We mentioned Tabitha as our choice of name and she the bitch went and registered her unnamed new daughter as Tabitha. Growl.

Can you suggest anything similar? It's definitely a girl so we only need girl names.

Thank you Smile

Anything there that you would consider?

RosannaBanana · 28/11/2012 19:36

But Talitha might be just a wee bit too close for cousins... :)

MisselthwaiteManor · 28/11/2012 19:37

Matilda and Tallulah are lovely, Matilda will definitely be going on the short list!

Tabea, although maybe too similar.

Of the above I'd go for Matilda.

I knew a Tamlyn once, always thought it was a pretty name!

FuturePerfect · 28/11/2012 20:34

I know a Petronella - Nella for short.

MisselthwaiteManor · 28/11/2012 20:36

I'm liking Claudia and Arabella, Matilda is my favourite so far though.

Thanks for the link Molotov that's fab Smile

Marian - I have had slightly psychopathic thoughts but I decided to just get over it, I still have a niece with a beautiful name if not my own daughter!

Tabitha is so dreadful, your sil has done you such a favour. what about beatrix or Claudia? Eliza is lovely too. Christabel is fabulous.

crazybutterflylady · 28/11/2012 20:44

What a cow! I have a Tabitha and I'm having another girl in 10 weeks so I am in a similar boat. I LOVE Thea but have a friend with a daughter called Thea. Plus it's quite similar really. How about that?
I do love Matilda and Mathilde too.
Martha?
Our short list is Ada, Claudia and Edie. I love Romilly too but DH has vetoed.

GlaikitFizzog · 28/11/2012 20:47
