Phoebe Tabitha

[AverageMummy]

Just that really - what do you think of the names Phoebe & Tabitha?

I know a good handful of Phoebes and it’s not been a pleasant experience! They range in age, (mostly) 3-9 and an adult. They’re strangely all bratty and whiney!!! How that happens, I do not know! But it has warped the association. It is also a terribly common name now. Shame, because objectively it’s quite pretty.

But Tabitha is another level! It’s smart, but fun, cute but sophisticated. I’m a big fan!! 😊

Really surprised by how mixed the reactions are!

Phoebe is lovely but I really dislike Tabitha.

I like Phoebe, dislike Tabitha.

I hate the name Phoebe
but I love the name Tabitha

You’ve all made it harder not easier

Phoebe by miles. More elegant. Tabitha is twee slash feline.

I like Tabitha and it has nice nn.

I love Tabitha! I could take or leave Phoebe, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Rhea makes be think gonnorhea / diorrhoea. Sorry, that's horrible, but it was what first came to my awful, awful mind .

The reason being that I think Tabitha is cool and elegant. Phoebe is a bit insipid and cutesy.
