We’ve hit a bit of a stalemate on the following names, two I love, two DP loves. Which would you choose and why?

Beatrice / Aaliyah / Christabel / Tabitha

Thank you!

Christabel is the most unusual- I like Christiana...

I like Christina but not Christiana. Christabel is ok but there are so many -bel, -belle, and -bella names around.

In order, I like:
Christabel
Tabitha
Beatrice
Aaliyah

Christabel - lovely. Tabitha is ok but a bit catty.

Christabel- Shortened to Chris all the time- boreing.
Tabitha best of the bunch.

Tabitha - because one of my twins is Tabitha....I love it, we call her Tabby (or sometimes Kitten) and it suits her down to the ground. I actually like all the shortlist apart from Aaliyah...but that's just because I'd constantly be spelling it incorrectly! You could just keep the shortlist and decide when she arrives (definitely easier to name a baby once you've seen them).

I love Beatrice and Tabitha (although I prefer the spelling Tabatha as I know 2 who spell it this way).

Really dislike Aaliyah - it comes under the chavvy umbrella for me too I'm afraid.

Christabel is ok, but will be always spelt wrong I expect which could be really annoying.

I really like Tabitha and Beatrice, not at all the other two

windchimesabotage · 27/02/2018 19:36

I like them all except Aaliyah purely because it sounds a bit like 'a liar'

Tabitha is my favourite.

JacintaJones · 27/02/2018 23:08

Christabel is lovely, you could shorten it to Christy, Christa, Belle/Bella or Stacey.

Beatrice and Tabitha are ok.

Aaliyah is fine if you are Arabic.

Lifeaback · 27/02/2018 23:24

Beatrice or Tabitha for me. Congrats Flowers

Lucylululu · 28/02/2018 03:35

Tabitha is lovely! Beatrice is also nice. Aaliyah has a VERY 'chavvy' vibe, and Christabel isn't great either.

Christabel nn Kitty!
