Back with a new name: Talitha

[Livvielo]

To go with siblings Hannah And Louisa.
Thoughts?

I’m sorry if it’s a real name but it sounds like Tulisa with a lisp.

Or Tabitha with a typo

Ah just seen it’s pronounced Talita (no th sound)

In which case I think she’d face a lifetime of correcting pronunciation

I’d never heard it so online and got this on Wikipedia -
Talitha is an uncommon feminine name meaning "little girl" in Aramaic, given in reference to the Biblical story in the Gospel of Mark in which Jesus Christ was said to have resurrected a dead child with the words "Talitha cumi" or "Talitha kum" or "Talitha koum," meaning "Little girl, I say to you, arise!"

Between that and sounding like a mispronunciation of Tabitha I’m not really that keen on it.

Terrible made up American sounding name.

I know a Talitha. She literally has to spell it out to people they call her talia, Taylor and Tabitha.

I think it's a very pretty name. Given its rarity, and the fact it is a biblical name, I think anyone who is familiar with the name will assume it was given for its religious connotations. If that doesn't bother you then it's a good choice.

It’s a very old biblical name

I love Tabitha but my DH says ‘cat’

Completely wrong but don't let that stop you @NewIdeasToday

Talia?

I like it, OP.

I love Tabitha but yes it was the cat in bewitched I think?

Hebrew name. I know three of different ages. One is Taleetha, the other Talytha like Tabitha, and the third Talita but with more of a Spanish accent (she’s Latin American). Phew! I think it’s pretty.

Makes me think of Talitha Pol who was married to one of the Gettys. Some iconic pictures of her with the Rolling Stones. Sadly her life was a bit tragic. Nice name though.

It’s not good. Hard to say. Very lispy. Weak sounding to me. She’ll envy her sisters with their names 😀

I rather like it.
I can't see why it would be hard to say -it's pronounced as it's spelt.

I quite like it. I love your girls' names, you've got good taste!
I do love Tabitha though. Don't like Talia.

I thought it was a typo for Tabitha. Personally I wouldn't choose another name ending in an 'ah' sound, it's nearly as bad as all the names beginning with the same sound IMO.

Your girls' names are classic. I think Martha or Verity would go with them. Plus they've all got 6 letters !

Apparently the Aramaic pronunciation is Ta-lee-ta - but I’m not sure how likely it is the OP will come across any Aramaic speakers

I agree with @Amdone123, I’d pick a more traditional name to go with your other daughters’ names.

It's a biblical name and I know a one year old named Talitha !!!

How about Natalie (nn. Tally)?

I know a Talitha she pronounces it
Tal- eetha. Actually more like Tal-eefa but I really like it!
