Thoughts on the name Tabitha (nickname Tabby)

One Dd already called Florence

I love it but was vetoed by DP as reminded him of a cat.

Florence is lovely too and can be shortened to Flo, Floss, Florry.

Oh sorry just re read OP

Hate it.
Imogen would go with Florence, I think.

I love it. And it is a pretty classic name, it's Biblical!

I like it. It was nearly what I was called, but my parents loved the name they gave me a little more (as do I). Having said that, I could easily see the name suiting me as an adult, so if you love it, go for it

Love it. Its the name of one of my rabbits. But don't let that put you off.

A cat's name for me. And too old lady.

Thanks everyone!

Strongly dislike. If I were to go by MN, I would think it's one of the top 20 names it appears on here so often! In reality I've never come across one and I'm in London. I can never understand why it gets so much love on here...

I love it. Has Bewitched connotations for me too - my favourite programme as a child!

It's great. Was a strong contender for DC2 (if he had been a girl).

Love it. And love nn Tabby. Really wanted it for DD, but vetoed by DH because he thought it sounded "too posh" .

Nah. You can have Tatiana though. I was saving it but dc2 is a boy and I wouldn't do that to him

I love it for a cat & I had a much loved one with the name. I really dislike it for a human (sorry) probably due to the cat association. I've never actually met a Tabitha. Maybe if I had I'd feel differently about it.

It does kind of go with Florence, but Florence is so much nicer.

Love it, love it, love it

I know one baby and another 3 yr old with the name. It's getting trendy - in case you care about that, or not.

Both in SE Londin FWIW

Love it.

I love it. It was on my list of names for dd but I couldn't convince by partner.

I think the baby daughter from Bewitched was a Tabitha wasn't she?

I love it but DP vetoed when we were expecting - he said 'cats name'.

Love it too.

Like it a lot.

I really like it and think it works well with Florence. It's becoming trendy but in a good way, not at risk of being overused. I hope you go for it.

I love it. It's the name of the narrator's mum in 'A Prayer for Owen Meany' which is one of my favourite books.

It's my cats name so not working for me, but it's your baby why worry about what others think?
