How popular is tabitha?

[MissTweed]

Was considering Tabitha as a name but just wondering if it was becoming quite common?

I grew up being 1 of 6 ............ In each class and hated it and so have always know that I didn't want my children having a common name. Problem is every time I love a name, a year or so later it becomes the most common name used!!!

So just wondering how many little ones you know with this name (I don't have kids already so no access to nurseries etc to hear names)

I know one, who is 15 (years).

I know of 4 under 6.

My daughter's middle name is Tabitha, but it would have been my first choice (grr DH). In fact, its been used in my family for generations, I have aunts, great aunts and a great granny Tabitha and numerous 2nd cousins of various ages. I haven't heard of it in real life outwith our family circle though.

I don't know any but I love this name dh isn't keen so I never got to use it :(

My friend just had one a few weeks ago. I think it's lovely but can't imagine it will be so popular there will be multiples in a school class or year group
