Tabitha or Frieda?

[TremoloGreen]

Just that really. She would have two middle names to come from the following (all family names):

Margaret or Pearl
Agnes or Ines
Elizabeth or a diminutive
Dorothea or Dorothy
Joan

Which first name do you prefer and what combination of MNs do you think go? To go with siblings Helena and Isaac.

Well, I have a Tabitha (ignoring previous poster) and she's known as T, Tabby, Abi and only toddlers call her Tabfa

Tabitha Agnes Joan sounds fabby

DS would have been Frida if he'd been a girl so you can guess which name I like! We used all family middle names as well and both the grandparents and the children liked us using names that link people across the generations.

Margaret and Joan are due a revival, Elizabeth is timeless, Dorothea, Agnes and Ines are cool, I like Pearl the least, I think it's a lot less classy than the other names, maybe it's just dated the worst.

I like Tabitha Agnes Joan

Agnes is waaay better than Ines imho (or you could use Senga )

I like Tabitha Agnes Elizabeth

ch1134 Don't really understand your comment. I'm not going to get into a discussion of whether I have money or not (!) but I'm perfectly comfortable choosing names that I like for my children without needing to worry about whether they make some kind of 'statement' about me.

Thanks for all the other comments! After speaking to DH, I think we'll probably drop Margaret/Pearl from the running, complicated family history there!

I love the name Frieda. Really love it. I can never decide whether I like Tabitha or not. It's hard not to hear Tubby when I hear Tabby as a nn.

Frieda Agnes, Frieda Ines or Frieda Elizabeth. It all sounds too much of a mouth full to add any of the other names as a second middle name. Are 2 middle names really necessary?
