Tabitha or Thisbe

[RoseApp]

Stuck on names. So far we have
Thisbe
Tabitha
Thea
Elowen
Xanthe
Callista

Suggestions welcome. We quite like Greek/mythology/mystic/romantic (I can’t think of the right term )

I only like Thea the rest sound like your trying to name a Guinea pig sorry

Like Thisbe but would worry about people and comments about Frisbees.

Not keen on Callista.

Rest are lovely
I particularly like Thea

Thisbe I only know from Shakespeare. It’s ok. I much prefer Thea which is classic to my mind. But actually, the minute you know a child with a name then that’s what the name means so you’ll be fine!

I have a very slight remnants of a childhood lisp-and even now I have to pause and run up to Thisbe-sorry. For that reason I wouldn't go for it, sorry.

Thisbe will definitely get messed around by not so nice kids into This be....

Not Thisbe. It does sound like frisbee with a lisp…

Thisbe sounds like you’ve got a lisp, terrible

Anthea
Althea
Daphne

How about Phoebe?

Tabitha /Tabby is a cats name

This made me chuckle. I had lots of Guinea pigs as a child and they had names like Corn Flake and Poppadom!

OP, I like Thea - how about Theadora or Dorothea?

I love Thisbe but then also love Hebe and feel they are very similar

Tabitha is growing on me, but I prefer Talitha as I like Tallie but Tabby just makes me think cat.

Thea is OK but quite popular in my area which puts me off

Elowen is nice but I imagine will just become another Ellie. Love Olwen

Xanthe is nice but I'm not a fan of X's at the start of names and Zanthe looks wrong and too like Zante

I don't know why I don't like Callista but I don't

Thanks everyone. I did wonder about Thisbe and lisping. We like Thea but it seems quite common at the moment?

I like Tabitha a lot. Tabea is the German diminutive which I think is lovely

Thisbe - a bit too close to 'this be' and 'lispy'
Tabitha - ok
Thea - meh and Theo is overused
Elowen - will be mispronounced and misspelt
Xanthe - ok
Callista - prefer it with only one l

Thisbe sounds like someone's lisping frisbee.

They're all ridiculous and try-hard IMO

This. Just go with Frisbee.

If you like Greek mythology, how about Persephone, Helen, Selene, Cassandra or Iris?

Tabitha is lovely, it always gets ridiculous comments about being a cats name on nn but it seems exclusive to on here. I’m not keen on the others

I agree with pp who said Talitha is a lovely alternative to Tabitha.

Thea seems to be quite popular at the moment. I'm afraid Thisbe just makes me giggle about Bottom et al trying to perform the play about them in Midsummer night's dream and it's supposed to be tragic but just ends up being silly!

Persephone? Penelope?

I quite like Tabitha and Xanthe. I’d worry about the potential for “this be” jokes with Thisbe.

How about Phoebe, Daphne, Calliope, Althea, Ariadne?

I like Tabitha and Elowen

what about Thursa, Talia, Tanith?

I know a Tabitha, she is Tiggy for short which I LOVE!

I like Elowen but my DD2 also has a Cornish name.
