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 )

Athena

I really like Thisbe. It just might be a bit difficult to live up to such an unusual name though, if say you grow up to be a bit mousy.

As for the names being ‘try hard’, never take life advice from the tall-poppy, socially insecure. They make life so dull and grey.

Heaven forbid people try hard to name their kids 😏

I absolutely love Tabitha.

Tabitha is nice, also there is the Greek version of the name, which is Dorcas.

Wtf is Thisbe? Genuinely never heard of it!

Thea and Tabitha are the nicest

KirstenBlest · 30/07/2023 20:59

Dorcas is lovely.

It's from the Greek tragedy Pyramus and Thisbe. Also appears in A Midsummer Night's Dream as the play the Mechanicals are performing for the wedding.

Tabitha is a cat name to me.

I love Thea but it's really popular atm.

Love Elowen or Elonwen
I like Xanthe but she'll always be spelling it
Like Callista. Although I will always think of Callista Flockhart. Not that that's a bad thing, I love her

I actually thought Thisbe was a perfectly nice name until people upthread made the frisbee connection Shock

They are all a bit pretentious, and whilst some may be not too bad for a woman, they just are not decent names for a child.
