Help me decide! (I realise names not to everyone's taste but I love them all)

Bryony! Tabitha is for a cat, and Juno is nice but too 2015 and will date.

All lovely.

Bryony in particular

I love Tabitha and Juno, both fabulous names.
Really dislike Bryony. sorry. To me it feels very dated but not in a good way.

  1. Juno... Juno And The Paycock
  2. Bryony
  3. Tabitha... cat's name maybe (though a nice cat's name)

Bryony - nice, quite unusual

Juno - pregnant annoying girl in movie. Meh, not into it.

Tabitha - think it's dreadful, it feels both witchy and suited to a cat. I really don't get the love for this one.

Bryony is v dated IMO.

BearGrower · 01/11/2015 17:20

Thanks everyone. I do totally get the cat connection to Tabitha, so I can see why that would put people off. I think it's such a shame Juno makes everyone think of that film, but also see why they do. Argh, baby naming is hard!

Do you like Robyn OP?

I put Bryony and Robyn in the same category (and love both)

BearGrower · 01/11/2015 17:21

I do like Robyn, but for some reason the spelling of it with a 'yn' puts me off. I have no idea why!

Jemima?

SoftBlocks · 01/11/2015 17:23

Tabitha. Not sure why but not Bryony. Juno is trying too hard.

Blueberry234 · 01/11/2015 17:24

Tabitha

CormoranStrike · 01/11/2015 17:26

Bryony is beautiful

Sophronia · 01/11/2015 17:37

Tabitha

Robertaquimby · 01/11/2015 17:40

Tabitha

squoosh · 01/11/2015 17:44

I like Tabitha and Juno.

Not keen on Bryony.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 01/11/2015 18:01

We'll definitely not Tabitha. You're not having a kitten..
Juno and Bryony are both gorgeous. But I think I'd go with Bryony at a push

MrsMarigold · 01/11/2015 18:11

Tabitha. Bryony is awful.

Lunastarfish · 01/11/2015 18:14

Juno

happydollplease · 01/11/2015 18:40

Tabitha. Bryony my name and hate it. Hideous and have not forgiven my parents for calling me it. Juno is equally awful.

BettyBi0 · 01/11/2015 18:56

Please not Bryony. It sounds a bit drippy and whiney not sure why.

LOVE Tabitha and really wanted to use it for my DD1 but got such negative reactions from friends and family that I didn't use it. I've met a couple of little Tabithas since she was born and it just seemed such a perfect little name on them but their families were a zillion times posher than mine haha.

Juno just reminds me of the film with the pregnant teenager although I like the way it sounds when said with an English accent.

Grace893 · 01/11/2015 18:58

I like Bryony

SecretWitch · 01/11/2015 19:00

Tabitha might or might not be my name in real life Xmas Wink i happen to like it very much but I love Bryony!

BearGrower · 01/11/2015 19:17
