Sister to go with Tabitha

[thamesk8]

Hi All
Due this week!

I have boys names sorted. I have a DD called Tabitha but rarely gets called Tabitha- usually Tatty!

Please help. We are going round in circles. We are definitely fans of fuller birth certificate name with funky, more unusual nicknames.

Indigo nn Indie - Love Indie with Tatty. This is our fav but not so sure of Indigo as Tabitha's sister. Too different name camps right? Will she wish she had a more traditional fn? Dislike Indira, Indiana & India. Also, how many Indie's do you know?

Hermione nn Mimi or Minnie - HP Gah!!!

Saskia nn Sassy or Kiki - I love both. DH not so much.

Bonnie - does it need a full name? My name OCD says it does.

Lilia - too many Lilys about, right! Think this might be a mn option as it's after a family member.

They are the front runners.
Other options have been...
Jemima, Xanthe, Willow, Clementine, Camilla, Cressida, Cordelia, Constance...

Grateful for help, opinions, thoughts!

Thanks

I know a Tabitha (Taba) and her sister is Imogen (Immie).

LorryHen - Helpful contribution... Thanks!

OP, OCD is a heartbreaking condition for the sufferes and their families, not a diagnosis to be bandied about for 'little quirks' on a naming thread. please THINK before you post.

and just noticed your last rather arrogant post even after been told. Your attitude is disgusting!

OCD has made me nearly suicidal at one point in my life. It's really not something to be misused like this. Wanting your kids to have names from same genre or whatever is not OCD and you saying it is is insulting.

And Indigo is poncey as fuck.

'OCD' has most definitely evolved in the English language to have a more frivolous meaning in everyday speech, so I think it's Ok to use it in this way. Everyone knows the serious nature of the actual condition and I don't think this is trivialising it one bit. We are all people with brains, we know the difference.

Parsnipbob you are insulting as fuck too.

How about CeCe for Cecily or Cecelia?

Aaaaanyway, back to the point of the thread... Indigo is a fab name and as a previous poster said the NN Dingo is really sweet and quirky. I know an Indigo and her little sister Dahlia. Love that name.

Jess do you know the difference? Would you think it was ok to use the word 'spaz' or 'mong' in a trivial fashion? Flippant references to OCD are half the reason why the condition is woefully misunderstood. 'Lolz, I like to be clean and line my pencils up, I'm OCD'.

In any case I am reporting this thread as I find it disablist.

Jesspip, maybe people do think it's ok to use OCD frivolously but I think that they could do with expanding their vocabulary.

As someone who has dealt with this first hand and be asked 'oh so you're really tidy' a million times I don't actually think people do have a good understanding of the condition.

Anyway, not trying to be rude but if I've made someone think differently about a very serious mental health problem which ruins peoples everyday lives and potentially opened their eyes to the fact it isn't just a minor 'quirk' then that is a good thing.

Nice, parsnipbob.

Could we all lay off the OP now please? She should not have been so flippant about MH issues but I'm sure she understands this now.

I love the name Indira (have a Swiss friend by that name). Much nicer than Indigo imo, and nn Indie still works well.

What? The OP asked for an opinion on the name Indigo. That's my opinion. Sorry if it doesn't meet with your approbation.

'OCD' has most definitely evolved in the English language to have a more frivolous meaning in everyday speech, so I think it's Ok to use it in this way.

Jesspip Do you not see the problem with this? you clearly have never been touched by this condition either directly or indirectly, i pray it remains so.

DD has OCD, we are stuck in a nightmare.

Clementine goes well with tabitha

newto sorry about your DD. I have had OCD since I was a kid/teenager but only recently diagnosed. PM me if you want advice or anything

Thank you Pasnipbob, that's very kind of you.

We are all people with brains, we know the difference... I kind of think you've missed the point there. Which says it all really...

It's trivializing and minimizing OCD which can be extremely debilitating for the sufferer. A dreadful condition.

Seriously OP? You're really not going to acknowledge that what you're saying is offensive?

SHOUTS......

What do you think of CeCe??

Jessip Thank you.
