Tabitha Angela. As a first and middle name?

Angela has to stay as it's a family tradition thing so I guess what I'm asking is what first name do you think would gel well with Angela or even if Angela were to be the first name what would go well as a second corresponding name?

Thanks.

I like both names though i don't think ending and starting with an A - eg tabithaA-Angela is good.
If the first name ends with an a I think the next has to start with a consonant eg tabitha jane
Tabitha mary
Also tabitha being relatively fancy needs a plainer middle name!

I don't like the repeated a sound with Tabitha and Angela together.

wonderpants · 25/01/2016 17:50

I like Angela!
Don't worry too much if they go, they will rarely be used together!
Choose names you love!

I like Tabitha but agree that together with Angela it sounds clunky; that being said you'll rarely verbalise the full name together so if you can't find another name you love it shouldn't be a deal breaker. I love Angela and think it's under-utilised, so it would make a great first name.

I have a Tabitha and her middle name is also 3 syllables and begins with an A. We think it scans ok Hmm

girlandboy · 25/01/2016 19:21

I love Angela (it's my name!) Grin

My middle name also has three syllables, which makes it a bit of a mouthful, so I'd go for something shorter.

However, if you use Angela as a middle name then I don't think Tabitha goes particularly well - too many "a's" going on.

Pick Angela as a first name though, there's not that many about!

nellyflora · 25/01/2016 20:09

I like Tabitha and full names are rarly used so going doesn't really matter to be honest. But I think it's fine and at least it's not May, Rose or Grace and has meaning!

Sophronia · 25/01/2016 23:11

I like Tabitha, and it's fine with Angela.

Vixxfacee · 25/01/2016 23:17

Tabitha is pretty bad and both names end with same sound.

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 25/01/2016 23:56

Tabitha isn't really my style of name, so...

Grace Angela
Elise Angela
Emily Angela
Taylor Angela
Annie Angela

I think lots of names go nicely with Angela.

Angela is a lovely name and underused. Not keen on Tabitha and don't think it goes well with Angela as the vowels are the same A-I-A (I know it's an e in the middle of Angela but I'd say Ann-jill-a).

Angela Seren
Angela Ruby
Angela Coralie
Angela Megan
Angela Beatrice
Angela Florence
Angela Bethany
Angela Zoe

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 26/01/2016 01:16

I like both names, but not together.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 26/01/2016 01:19

Dammit, hit post early.

Angela Zoe is lovely!

DiscordiaVanDiemen · 26/01/2016 13:17

I think Angela Tabitha sounds much better than the other way round (because Angela begins and ends with a vowel)
I have 3 Christian names myself and they all end with an A Grin

cheekstime · 01/02/2016 16:20

Tabitha does reminds me of cats only :/.

Chloe?

EssentialHummus · 01/02/2016 16:29

Another vote against the double "A" sound, sorry. I like all of whycant's suggestions.

MitzyLeFrouf · 01/02/2016 16:42

Well I think the two names sound good together.

And personally I think you should go for the name you like the best rather than one that 'flows' better with Angela. People worry about that stuff way too much.

MamaMotherMummy · 01/02/2016 17:53

Love it
