I've always loved beatrice but really like tabitha too. I already have a dd called daisy. Which goes best?

I am biased as I have a Tabitha. Love both names though.

OftheTwilighttheDarkness · 10/10/2014 06:39

I think both are lovely and both work with Daisy. Sorry that really isn't much help. If it was me I would probably go with Beatrice but I think Tabby is such a cute nickname.

Love Tabitha ( cute little witch) hate Beatrice ( smelly maiden aunt).

EugenesAxe · 10/10/2014 06:59

I would go Tabitha as there are lots of Beatrices. Both lovely though!

rootypig · 10/10/2014 07:02

Tabitha! is so sweet. Beatrice still feels dated to me.

RosieProbert · 10/10/2014 07:28

Tabitha - lovely! Nn Tabi Grin

Guin1 · 10/10/2014 08:07

My vote is also for Tabitha.

moxon · 10/10/2014 08:13

I think Daisy and Beatrice go better together. They sound like kind siblings.

IamHelenaJustina · 10/10/2014 08:18

Tabitha is a cats name to me. Beatrice is a heroine. I'd go with that.

burgatroyd · 10/10/2014 08:34

Other similar names...

Constance nn Connie
Cordelia, nn Coco
Josephine, nn Jojo or Posy

Have a Tabitha. Very cute and lots of nice shortenings - tabby, Tilly, tibby etc.

ICanTotallyDance · 10/10/2014 08:43

I think they are both lovely but that Beatrice goes better with Daisy. Also, it has a lot of cute nicknames (e.g. Bea, Betty, Trish, Trixie, Betsy etc).

It doesn't have any negative connotations for me (certainly not old maiden aunt!) but I don't think you can go wrong with those two names, really.

DecaffTastesWeird · 10/10/2014 10:28

I love Tabitha! Not such a fan of Beatrice... It somehow sounds matronly to me.

squoosh · 10/10/2014 10:46

Tabitha is lovely.

Beatrice is frumpsville.

beakerandburette · 10/10/2014 11:18

Tabitha!

winkywinkola · 10/10/2014 18:20

Tabitha but I like Beatrix too.

Not Beatrice.

ralinax294 · 10/10/2014 19:48

I prefer Beatrice.

Bamaluz · 10/10/2014 20:03

Tabitha - lovely name.

Montsti · 10/10/2014 20:16

I like them both, but probably prefer Beatrice. Difficult choice!

fizzymittens · 10/10/2014 20:47

Tabitha. Tab for short.

natenewt · 10/10/2014 20:50

I have a Tabitha, so my vote goes with that, and she loves being likened to a cat! We also nearly had a Beatrice too, but it didn't go with our surname.

FoxSticks · 10/10/2014 20:50

I like them both, I really like Triss as a nickname for Beatrice.

oaktober12 · 11/10/2014 21:02

A vote for Tabitha from me!

hashtagwhatever · 11/10/2014 21:05

I vote Tabitha. Beatrice has a old lady feel, and not in a good way.

CarriMarie · 12/10/2014 00:25

I prefer Tabitha and think it goes better with Daisy.
