Does Tabitha go with our sur name?

I love the name Tabitha but can't decide if it sounds ok with 'Taylor'. What do you think? Oh and Please don't tell me it's a cat's name - it isn't! Wink

Beautiful Thanks

Lovely

Unless it gets shortened to Tabby/Tab -in which case Tabby Taylor doesn't sound so great.

DitsyDonkey · 07/10/2013 10:11

Oh lovely I do love a bit of alliteration!

PinkGlove · 07/10/2013 10:12

Love Tabitha. Yes it sounds great.

daughterofafarmer · 07/10/2013 10:22

I do love a little bit of alliteration! Annoyingly DH won't hear of it.

Writerwannabe83 · 07/10/2013 10:35

I think it sounds lovely!!

I wanted to call my cat Tabitha but hubby said no Sad

I asked him that if we had a baby girl could we call her Tabitha??
He said no to that too! Grr!

Tabitha Taylor is beautiful, I would love to have that name Smile

Thanks everyone Smile . I'll have to make sure she keeps her own sur name if marrying a pilkington-smyth!

Will it sound really shit then if people shorten it to tabbie or tabs? I won't but I'm guessing kids at school will.

Hmmm silence. You can be honest with me...

Sounds good to me. I've never met a cat called Tabitha Taylor either.

stacysmom · 07/10/2013 12:43

Gorgeous!

But then I have a Tabitha too, so I might be biased! Wink

I dont normally like first and surnames beginning with the same letter at all but it's not too bad.
