Love it and nearly used it!

RUOKHon · 09/04/2020 11:26

Love it! DS was going to be Tabitha.

wildflowersandweeds · 09/04/2020 11:29

Loved it, very nearly used it, was saying to DH the other day that the next one may well be a Tabby!

Magicbabywaves · 09/04/2020 11:30

Would have used for DC3, but he was a he!

ZebraKid71 · 09/04/2020 11:45

It was in my top 3 for my second but he was a boy. If we have a third it would definitely be in the running I love it.

Adore it

whatdayisitandotherquestions · 09/04/2020 11:57

Love it!

Appuskidu · 09/04/2020 11:58

Love it-it was on my list!

Standrewsschool · 09/04/2020 12:06

Love it

Orphlids · 09/04/2020 12:12

I’m not keen on it, I’m afraid. It doesn’t have much sex appeal, to my ears. I wouldn’t want to be called Tabitha.

Blursula · 09/04/2020 12:24

One of my faves. Gorgeous

emmathedilemma · 09/04/2020 12:51

Love it :)

Greenvilla · 09/04/2020 12:56

Frumpy and ugly. Cannot appreciate this name or why it would be used

phoenixrosehere · 09/04/2020 13:01

Not keen either. It sounds harsh to the ears. Nickname would be Tabby, maybe? Yea, not a fan.

catinb0oots · 09/04/2020 13:03

I absolutely love it - my best friend is called Tabitha. She hates it.

At school she used to get called Scabitha, Flabitha etc. Kids are mean.

Rio5555 · 09/04/2020 13:51

Not keen. Too catlike and sounds frumpy to my ears

Umnoway · 09/04/2020 14:25

I like it but DH vetoed because he thinks it’s too feline.

My daughter is a Tabitha, she is 23 now. I asked her recently if she liked her name and she said she loves it and gets lots of comments on what a nice name it is. No one was horrible at school, I think there are so many different names now children don't take much notice. It's a lovely name.

DramaAlpaca · 09/04/2020 17:11

It will forever be a cat's name to me.

ofwarren · 09/04/2020 17:13

I think it is a beautiful name!

babynamelover · 09/04/2020 20:33

Same with above I used it on a stray cat we were caring for recently.

thunderthighsohwoe · 09/04/2020 20:39

Our 16mo is Tabitha, and we call her Tabby for short. DP wasn’t keen, but his choices were horrendous so I won 😃

MikeUniformMike · 09/04/2020 20:54

Not my taste, but there's nothing wrong with it. I think of it as being the same sort of name as Matilda.

CrowCat · 09/04/2020 21:14

Love it. And that's why it's my eldest DDs name Smile
