Both beautiful

mondler · 24/06/2019 22:42

Very nice, I slightly prefer phoebe

DramaAlpaca · 24/06/2019 22:44

I like Phoebe, but Tabitha will always be a cat to me.

Whoops75 · 24/06/2019 22:49

Prefer phoebe

AnonymousP · 24/06/2019 22:55

Like both, especially Tabitha.

Tillygetsit · 24/06/2019 23:08

Great.

NeverSayFreelance · 24/06/2019 23:09

I like Phoebe, always have. Tabitha I have always said is a cat name. Tabby cat.

DeadButDelicious · 24/06/2019 23:11

Love Phoebe.

I love Tabitha too but for a cat. A little grey tabby one.

DeadButDelicious · 24/06/2019 23:13

What about Phoebe and Rhea? Both are moons of Saturn.

IHaveBrilloHair · 24/06/2019 23:15

Absolutely love both.

AverageMummy · 24/06/2019 23:15

@DeadButDelicious ooh Rhea is lovely

A rhea is a large bird related to an emu or ostrich.

Tabitha would've been DSs name if he'd been a girl. I love it. I had very vivid dreams about a tabby cat after choosing the name and think would've used tabby/tabby cat as a nn so the feline association doesn't bother me. Mind you DS ended up with a name that some think is for dogs!

Shadow1234 · 25/06/2019 00:44

Really like Phoebe, but not keen on Tabitha

Peachbubble · 25/06/2019 08:44

Tabitha is a lovely name. Phoebe is OK, but very popular atm.

CloserIAm2Fine · 25/06/2019 10:39

I love both

userabcname · 25/06/2019 10:43

Lovey. Especially like Tabitha.

gerbilfun · 25/06/2019 10:46

Love phoebe. Not keen on Tabitha

EugenesAxe · 25/06/2019 10:56

Both great. To give another perspective, I know a pet called Phoebe and a beautiful lady called Tabitha...

Rhea will always me think of Perlman. I didn't realise that the names of Saturn's moons are a strange blend of Greek and Norse mythology.

AverageMummy · 25/06/2019 11:22

@DramaAlpaca I did not know that !

Owlbert · 25/06/2019 11:55

Love Tabitha, not keen in Phoebe but works as a middle name with Tabitha!

AverageMummy · 25/06/2019 12:27

Wow it’s really split. Phoebe is my favourite & Tabitha my husband’s. I was expecting you all to vote with me Grin

MrsBertBibby · 25/06/2019 12:52

I dislike Tabitha a lot. Phoebe is nice.

Sophronia · 25/06/2019 14:50

Phoebe makes me think of the word “feeble”. I like Tabitha though.

ZebraKid71 · 25/06/2019 18:13

I love Tabitha, and Tabby.

Phoebe is nice but popular in my area which would put me off.
