Elisabeth, Tabitha or Bethany?

[brightwave]

Really stuck on these 3! I’m finding it hard to decide so help would be greatly appreciated

I have a Bethany so thank you to everyone who was so lovely about it she is now 13 and utterly adorable, was an angel of a baby, toddler and little girl I’m hoping she stays the same as a teenager when she was young she couldn’t pronounce the th so called herself Bessie and it’s stick as her nickname.

I also like Elizabeth and Tabitha but obviously Bethany is my favourite

And a jolly salutation to you too @May2021Mummy Your sunny demeanour so evident
If you’ve come to berate me, complain,copy and paste my posts or links from wiki you’ll need to form a disorderly queues behind the other two ravers
They already have a March on you with the moaning, complaining and demands that i retract all my posts and acquiesce to their opinion

I love Tabitha as a name! It’s so underused and classically lovely. I’m a teacher in an all girls school and have only taught 2 in 12 years of being there so it’s a nice change from the Olivias/Isabella’s/Mias etc. Different but not weird and both the girls I have taught have been seriously nice so it has good associations to me.

Ignore the cat name people, it really isn’t. One person called a cat Tabitha about 200 years ago and for some reason a few people can’t think through this. Is Peter or Benjamin a rabbit name? Also, I ever understand why Felix is loved on here and never called a cat?

I like Elisabeth with an s; it’s not that unusual. I’m a secondary teacher and have taught a few.
Not Tabitha.
Dislike Bethany, it just sounds so wet.

Love Tabitha and the nn Tabby. I like Elisabeth and Bethany too but Tabitha is my favourite.

This is one of the funniest threads I've read for ages.
I'm actually quite worried about myself as I don't seem to have an 'immediate association' with CAT when I hear the rather lovely name Tabitha. Apparently everyone has this association, and it's not a geographical thing? Should I go to the doctor tomorrow. Or perhaps I just need to blame my parents for such a poor education in word association. I'm ashamed to say that I don't think I've ever heard of a cat called Tabitha.

OP, I like Bethany. Met a lovely one recently who has given me a real soft spot for the name.

I would also suggest Elsabeth as a possible alternative to Elisabeth.

Elizabeth

I quite like Bethany too
