Are these too tongue-twister-ish?

Our surname is McAllister. We've narrowed our choice of name for dd down to 'Tabitha' and 'Madeleine'.

We've been fishing for opinions among a few family and friends and several have commented that both 'Tabitha McAllister' and 'Madeleine McAllister' are quite a mouthful.

Are they too much? Is one better than the other?

It's still a popular name despite Madeline McCann that’s what was actually said bumblebeesmum which I do think is awful, yes.

Madeleine is a gorgeous name that happened to belong to a little girl that went missing. Why people hold that against her is beyond me.

If your surname wasn't Mc then I would say Madeline, but I think of Mandy McCann too.

I'm another one who thought of "Tabby McTat"... although it wouldn't put me off.
