Alice, Harriet or Tabitha?

[Matilda03]

I'm interested in others opinions of our top 3 please. Middle name will be Ann after my mum and surname is one syllable beginning with a D.
Thanks!

Tabitha! I know one and on hearing her name I thought wow!

[Snapespeare]

I have a Tabitha, who is now 18 - we've met very few others - and it means gazelle, which is lovely.

If DC2 had been a girl, he would have been called Matilda.

any possibility of lengthening middle name to Annabel? (probably not!)

other (family) names we liked:

Ethel
Lillian
Elsie
Gertrude (seriously! Gertie Ann is fab!)

I LOVE Tabitha, I have one! All three of your names have been on our various shortlists for our 3 DDs, so I do like all of them. And Matilda is DD3's middle name!

In spite of my love for the name Tabitha - with all it's glorious catty connotations! - I would go with Harriet from your choices because, imo Tabitha and Matilda share too many letters and so are a bit samey - I'm guessing you'd prefer a name that was a bit different for your DD2.

Tabitha, love it. If I ever had a huge accident and a DD3 I would choose this name

And my DD1 is Matilda ;)
