Had settled on one of these early in pregnancy but having a few last minute wobbles. So brainstorming again.
Out of interest which do people prefer?

Tabitha x10000. Violet close second.

I think tabitha is very cute and I prefer it to Talitha Smile

Definitely Tabitha - wanted it for DD but vetoed by DH.

(And prefer it to Talitha too.)

Agree Tabitha is twee, cutesy and just "meeeh". Violet is gorgeous.

Love Tabitha, Violet Ok, Erica - a bit meh

Really dislike Erica. Also sounds harsh to my ears. Love Tabitha. Violet is pretty, but too popular in by friendship group these days (along with Emilia, Florence and Annabel).

Not keen at all on Erica and Tabitha. Violet is ok.

Absolutely love Tabitha - and it's a strong biblical name, not twee or a cat! DS would have been Tabitha had he been a DD.

Violet's ok, one of those old lady names I've been slightly startled by the resurgence of - there are two at DD's nursery. Quite pretty I suppose, if I view it objectively!

Erica's awful! Just a deeply unattractive name...but fascinating that people have such an utterly different take on all three! There's your answer - they're all Marmite names so.pick the one YOU love best.

I love Erica. I love Tabitha too but think it's more "now." People are probably making faces because Erica doesn't fit the current frilly, cutesy names that are popular at the moment but it's a great name. I'd stick with it.
