Tabitha or Juno?

Which do you prefer?

I'm nearly set on Juno if this little one turns out to be a girl. But I also love the old fashioned feline feel of Tabitha!

Ds is Eli.

Juno. Love it

chockbic · 12/06/2014 17:58

Tabitha is lovely.

Juno reminds me of a dog.

FelixFelix · 12/06/2014 17:59

I love Tabitha! Eli and Juno go well together though. Actually, so does Eli and Tabitha.

MrsMarigold · 12/06/2014 17:59

Tabitha is one of my favourite names

deepbluetr · 12/06/2014 17:59

Tabitha is beautiful. The little girl witch in "Bewitched" was called Tabitha.

Looseleaf · 12/06/2014 18:00

I love Juno

kissmyheathenass · 12/06/2014 18:05

I love Tabitha (have one myself and she's usually called Tabi).

Juno good too but prefer Tabitha.

How about Juno tabitha? Love Juno x

Montsti · 12/06/2014 19:19

Tabitha!

burgatroyd · 12/06/2014 19:45

I know siblings Elin and Tabitha. Both are gorgeous names

RAFWife12 · 12/06/2014 20:05

Much prefer Tabitha!

Nereida · 12/06/2014 20:10

I think Eli and Tabitha go very well together. Juno just reminds me of the film.

SoftSheen · 12/06/2014 20:12

Tabitha. Juno will date.

OublietteBravo · 12/06/2014 20:18

I prefer Juno to Tabitha

FizzyFeet · 12/06/2014 20:29

Juno!

emmeline7725 · 12/06/2014 20:41

Tabitha. Gorgeous name. Can't use it myself as I called my daughter Thea and it's too similar.

MummyBeerest · 12/06/2014 20:45

Tabitha is a beautiful name. I like Juno too but as someone else said, it'll date.

Viviennemary · 12/06/2014 20:47

I don't like Juno very much. Tabitha not sure but I can see why people like it.

EyelinerQueen · 12/06/2014 20:51

I much much MUCH prefer Juno.

The film was 2007 so no-one will think you're naming her after that. And how can the name of a Roman goddess date?! About as classic as it gets!

Don't like Tabitha. It's a bit insipid and the cat connection is a negative for me.

Guin1 · 13/06/2014 02:21

My vote is Tabitha.

ch1134 · 13/06/2014 11:08

Juno

looki · 13/06/2014 12:23

Tabitha 100%. I really like it and wanted it too late, by then DH preferred another name that I had worked hard at getting him to like. I still wonder if I should have used it.

There is a famous play called Juno and the Paycock and I always associated the name with this. Then when the film came along, I started associating it with that. Either way most names will have some sort of association so I wouldn't particularly let that put me off. What does put me off is its similarity to the name June which IMO is not a nice name. At all.

BeckaH123 · 13/06/2014 14:38

Tabitha!

CarCiKoTab · 13/06/2014 14:56

I have a Tabitha love it and everyone always comments on how lovely it is.

Not to keen on Juno, sounds like a nickname.

DiamondsAndRust · 13/06/2014 15:49

I like both but prefer Tabitha. Have a hunch that Juno might become one of those cool, faddy names that dates quickly. Tabitha is more consistently used. I know the cat connection puts some people off, but it appeals to me (my mum can't abide the name Elsa as she can only picture the 'Born Free' lion!) Would use the NN Kit.
