Tabitha, Matilda or something else?!

[frillyfarmer]

I really really love Tabitha, but our surname is Thatcher and I worry it's too wordy on the Thas?! I also love Matilda but I already have a Matty and I think perhaps it's too twee to have children with the same letter - am I overthinking it?

Other names on my list are Penelope, Eliza (DH doesn't like) and Francesca. DH likes felicity but I'm not keen on any of the nicknames. I wouldn't necessarily want either Tabitha or Matilda nicknamed either.

Any thoughts or suggestions - were really quite stuck with which way to go!

I think tabitha Thatcher is difficult because of the repeating tha sounds.

Francesca is lovely! I like flick as a nn for Felicity.

Tabitha Thatcher is a little bit Beatrice Potter or Thomas Hardy but I like it for that. It is memorable and attractive . Your other choices are also lovely.
