Thoughts? My dh has mentioned it a few times now and it's really growing on me.

I like known/familiar names which aren't super popular, I also like Tabby as a nickname.

The cat association doesn't bother me.

Tia.

love it !

TheCag · 21/12/2018 20:32

I love it, no different to using Felix for a boy (in terms of the cat comments you will receive!)

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 21/12/2018 21:30

I love it.

Phebes · 21/12/2018 21:59

Love it and love Tabby for short!

Kintan · 21/12/2018 22:02

I love it, it’s number one on our short list. It’s a timeless name - not too trendy, but also not too old-fashioned.

jackio2205 · 21/12/2018 22:03

You like it, sod what anyone else thinks Smile

SilverySurfer · 21/12/2018 22:15

Lovely ..... for a cat.

Picknickers · 21/12/2018 22:21

Lovely...for a girl/woman! My friend is known as Tabs. She's great and so is her name.

Triskaidekaphilia · 21/12/2018 22:36

It is a bit of a cat name but I like it anyway!

Frozenteatowel · 21/12/2018 23:27

Really love it. Only ever known one.

Sophronia · 21/12/2018 23:52

I prefer Talitha

Bluebonnieblue · 22/12/2018 01:27

LOVE it! It's cool, biblical, vintage, uncommon... Perfect!

kirkandpetal · 22/12/2018 01:52

Love it. The character from Jilly Cooper (Tabitha Campbell Black) is a right wilful child and I loved the name from that alone.

andthenthereweresix · 22/12/2018 02:09

I have a Tabitha we call her tabby or tabs, we love it

swimmerforlife · 22/12/2018 02:27

I use to have a teddy as a kid called Tabitha Grin Although I have vastly gone off the name since...

Ohyesiam · 22/12/2018 08:17

I really love it. In fact I sometimes call dd Tabitha even though it’s not her name!

Sammy867 · 22/12/2018 08:21

I have one; we call her Tibs for short.

MumUnderTheMoon · 22/12/2018 09:05

I had a kat called Tabitha as a kid but it was still on my girls name list. I love the magical nature of it it think with a name like that you'd be a free spirit.

Thanks so much for your feedback. As I said in my original post, the cat thing doesn't bother me. I think we're onto a winner 😊😊😊

Love it and Tabs is a nice nn!

turnipsaretheonlyveg · 22/12/2018 17:02

Family member 10 states she likes her name and it has a lot of nicknames. She would recommend it.

SleepWarrior · 23/12/2018 01:55

Love it but vetoed by DH. In my mind Jemima and Claudia are similar, and I love those too.

Greyhound22 · 23/12/2018 02:24

I love it. I have a Felix and it's only on Mumsnet you get sarky comments about cats.

In real life I've had a few 'oh' comments but generally very positive. I think it's a lovely name. Go for it.

MrWolfknowsthetime · 23/12/2018 02:35

I love it. Would have been high on my list if I had had a DD.

I prefer Tabs to Tabby for short though.

WildCherryBlossom · 23/12/2018 02:41

I love it. Beautiful.
