Lovely names, I love them all. My favourite is Tabitha.

Proseccofuelled · 18/05/2019 16:46

I love Norah a lot it feels substantial whilst being pretty & simple
Eva is nice but it does make me think Hitler
Tabitha is a cat

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 18/05/2019 16:54

Tabitha Alice

Saharasunset · 18/05/2019 16:57

Norah

coffeeaddiction · 18/05/2019 16:59

Like them all but I know of 3 norahs under the age of 1 so might end up being a rather popular name

Norah

Calixtine · 18/05/2019 18:02

Love Tabitha!

Watersnail · 18/05/2019 18:19

Eva is the nicest by miles. Norah is OK. Not keen on Tabitha.

fluffyblankets · 18/05/2019 18:22

thank you for the replies everyone. Here are my concerns- that Eva is too “boring”, Norah is too “old lady” and Tabitha (although we’d call her almost strictly Tabby) is too weird. no offence to any one with/that has picked these name, obviously I love them! What does everyone think?

Alice is the nicest!

JeantheHipster · 18/05/2019 18:29

I prefer Eva.

Norah is pretty drab imo. I've come across a few Tabithas, I don't consider it weird but I'm not keen on Tabs/Tabby.

userabcname · 18/05/2019 18:37

I like Tabitha best.

finallychangedmyusername · 18/05/2019 18:46

Tabitha Alice is one of my top choices if I were ever to have a DD. Excellent name.

CupOhTea · 18/05/2019 18:59

I love Tabitha. Eva is nice too, but quite well used.

I really like Norah, but have gone off it a bit lately... which makes me think it might be a bit of a trendy name. I also can't help but think Norah... virus!

That said, they are all very nice names.

Elemental · 18/05/2019 19:01

I’ve got a Tabitha (Tabi) so my vote is for that! It’s a marmite name but I think it’s cool and kickass.

CupOhTea · 18/05/2019 19:18

Should have clarified;

My favourite is Tabitha, followed by Eva, then Norah, a very close third.

missmouse101 · 18/05/2019 19:22

Tabitha is lovely. Norah very old lady and Eva very boring!

DramaAlpaca · 18/05/2019 19:26

Eva is timeless, elegant & international.

Norah is an ugly, dreary name.

Tabitha is perfect for a cat.

Peachbubble · 18/05/2019 19:44

Tabitha - my favourite name

Shadow1234 · 18/05/2019 22:28

Eva is my favourite, but I don't think it flows too well with Alice.
I do like a lot of the 'old lady' names, but sadly Norah isn't one of them.
Not keen on Tabitha

MumUnderTheMoon · 18/05/2019 22:54

I like Norah and Tabitha but I'm not sure that the "ah" sound from Alice flows well from the "ah" at the end of both. Is Alice a definite name you want to use because they sound great the other way round Alice Tabitha is lovely. Some people go by their middle names. You could still use Tabby as a nn.

Haworthia · 18/05/2019 22:56

I know too many Evas (who blend in with all the Evies) so I’d scratch that one if I were you.

Tabitha/Tabby is my favourite.

Muddlingalongalone · 18/05/2019 23:02

Norah is my favourite although personal preference without the h.
Eva's fine but nothing special.
I don't understand the Tabitha love. Not my cup of tea at all, but any name is perfect if you & your dh love it for your child.
