Top 4 girls - which one?

89 replies

DD due in a few months. We've managed to reduce our list down to 4 but can't decide on the "one"

Which one would you choose out of these 4?
Athena
Sabrina
Verity
Talitha

DH's picks are the first 2 and I like the last 2. Appreciate they aren't to everyone's taste but we both want something more unusual but not too out there. Thanks!

My order:

Verity
Athena
Sabrina
Talitha (never heard this name before)

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 18/09/2020 21:49

Verity first
Athena second

Talitha sounds like a lisp and Sabrina needs to be completely discarded.

Lunamaeve · 18/09/2020 22:05

LOVE Athena, had it on the list for my DD☺️

TwizzledTurkey · 18/09/2020 22:07

Athena or Sabrina

JayAlfredPrufrock · 18/09/2020 22:08

Love Verity

Prefer Sabina to Sabrina.

Sojo88 · 18/09/2020 22:11

Verity

LittleCabbage · 18/09/2020 22:12

Verity

Thisismytimetoshine · 18/09/2020 22:13

Verity. None of the others.

thegreylady · 18/09/2020 22:15

Sabrina was a sort of page 3 glamour model when I was young famous for her ginormous breasts. Then there was the Teenage Witch..
I love Verity, like Athena and am intrigued by Talitha. I knew a Tanith once too (sister of Ptolemy).

Lightningrain · 18/09/2020 22:15

I like Sabrina but does make me think of the teenage witch. Really like Serena though. Not overly keen on the others.

Africa2go · 18/09/2020 22:20

For anyone over the age of 40, they hear Sabrina and will want to say 'the teenage witch'? Athena is the name of the poster shop where we spent our teenage Saturday afternoons.

Verify is my favourite. I've never heard of Talitha, read it as Tabitha originally and would guess she'd spend her life correcting people. Sorry to be unduly negative.

BikeTyson · 18/09/2020 22:22

Verity is my favourite, followed by Sabrina.

Twillow · 18/09/2020 22:22

Verity, or Athena.
How do you pronounce Talitha though - to rhyme with Tabitha or TalEEtha??

LarkDescending · 18/09/2020 22:28

Athena for me.

MojoJojo71 · 18/09/2020 22:30

Definitely Verity, gorgeous name

Fozzleyplum · 18/09/2020 22:42

Verity is nice. I really dislike the others.

VenusClapTrap · 18/09/2020 23:02

I love Talitha. It’s beautiful.

For anyone over the age of 40, they hear Sabrina and will want to say 'the teenage witch'?

I’m over 40 and I think of the pop singer with the giant boobs.

DramaAlpaca · 18/09/2020 23:07

Sabrina is the nicest, followed by Talitha.

Verity is so prim, and I don't like Athena.

Miljea · 19/09/2020 00:14

Athena is the poster manufacturers with the 'girl in the tennis dress' one; Sabrina is a teenage witch; Verity is that cousin in- was it Poldark?

HTH!

But I best it doesn't!

Cecelori · 19/09/2020 00:27

1.Sabrina
2.Verity
3.Athena
4.Talitha

confusedpombear · 19/09/2020 01:15

I love Athena Smile

Fennelandlovage · 19/09/2020 01:22

Verity - lovely name

Ruthietuthie · 19/09/2020 01:22

LOVE Verity. Best of the bunch.

sorryforswearing · 19/09/2020 02:55

Verity. Don’t like the others.

micc · 19/09/2020 06:59

I love them all!
I think I like Sabrina and Verity the most. I have a family member called Verity, I love it when I hear the name because it's so under used.
