Tabitha?

[Hamletina]

Does anyone have any opinions on Tabitha?
We already have a Hugo - the other names we're considering are Violet (but I think it's too popular at the moment), Delilah, Matilda and Agnes.

I love it but DH used to have a cat called Tabby so he vetoed it. To be completely honest it does sound like a cat's name but only because of the historical cat

It's lovely. And goes perfect with Hugo.

I wanted to cal DD Tabitha (Hugo was out top pick for a boy so we obviously have similar tastes ) but DH said it was a cat’s name and vetoed

Violet was also struck off our list due to the French/English Violet or Violette pronunciation issues but I love it. Love Tabitha more though. The only name I don’t like on your list is Agnes.

I really love this name. It is one of the only names that I have just loved immediately and have not analysed back to front. You may get some funny faces and some will say it is a cat's name but that is just because of Beatrix Potter and it really isn't that unusual. Besides some would have said the same about Felix at one point but nobody I know flinches at that name now and nobody is surprised to hear a child called Bella despite it being a popular dog's name.

My mums cat isn't called Tabitha. I love Violet! It's my favourite girls name. Very pretty.

I love this name. I've only known one Tabitha IRL.

It's awul (sorry). Really wet fish.

I would go for one of your other choices.

It does sound a bit ‘cat’ but I do like it. As a pp said, much in the same vein as Felix, which is also a great name.

Violet is lovely.
Matilda is ok. Very popular a few years ago where I am, not so heard of atm.
Agnes, no. Sounds harsh.
Delilah, no, definitely no.

It's not my favourite name especially spelt your way. Tbh it reminds me of the 1980's and not in a good way.

How else do you spell Tabitha?

I love it, it's high up my list. I also love Felix. And cats :D I like Violet (also on my list), Matilda is the name of a popular children's character so I would avoid, and not keen on Agnes or Deliah.

Tabitha seems to crop up here a lot though, so it's probably going to become very popular.

Only name I don't like from your list is Agnes.

I love Delilah, there is a song by the plain white t's called hey there Delilah which is one of my favourite songs, so it reminds me of that.

There’s no other way to spell Tabitha?

I love it, it’s on my list. I like it even more for being a cats name

Tabitha was spelt originally Tabatha in the tv series bewitched. Then at some point they changed it to Tabitha, maybe around the time they swapped the actor playing Darrin/Darren?! They producers were clearly early to the party for yoonique spellings!

I don't like it, sorry! 😑

Gorgeous, and goes so well with Hugo.

Clearly the Bewitched writers are mad because it’s always been spelt Tabitha.

I love Tabitha, Agnes and Matilda but I'm less keen on Violet and Delilah. Strangely we used to know some sister's called Violet and Agnes.

In order of preference
Tabitha
Violet
Delilah
(To me the first 3 sound nice with Hugo)
Agnes
Matilda

That's what my mum wanted to call me but was veto'd by dad.. so they called the cat it instead.

I think it is a lovely name but will always be a cat's to me.

Statistically Matilda is much more popular than anything else on your shortlist (I know 3 under 7).

I like Tabitha although I also know 2 of them!

Violet is overall my favourite name.

Prefer Talitha. Also like Delilah.

I love it, it's always been my favourite name. re the others on your list, I like Violet and Agnes.

Love it. I know three between 6 and 35 . Perfect with Hugh.
