Tabitha is my favourite out of your choices.
How about Martha? That was the first name that came into my mind when I saw your thread title.

Debini · 19/10/2023 17:19

I like Billie but it’s not on your list 😂

EmmaGrundyForPM · 19/10/2023 17:22

I don't think any of those go with James. James is a very traditional name which works well with other plain, traditional names such as

Emma
Charlotte
Victoria
Sophie

Robotalkingrubbish · 19/10/2023 17:23

James is a classic name, so I would choose a classic girl’s name.

Anna
Elizabeth
Rebecca
Julia
Victoria
Philippa

Harriet

Hibambinos · 19/10/2023 17:25

you could go traditional old school
like Ophelia or Gwendolyn

longestlurkerever · 19/10/2023 17:25

Flora is nice with James. Tabitha is the second best fit, but I don't especially like it personally.

Baconking · 19/10/2023 17:28

My first thought was Chloe

MightyFine · 19/10/2023 17:29

I love Tabitha and Cora is nice too. Do not like the others.

The Tabitha I know has a sister called Evangeline which I love too

Scoobyblue · 19/10/2023 17:30

I agree with the most of the other posters. The names you are suggesting don’t really go with James. I would suggest
Sophie
Anna
Emma
Charlotte
Isabelle

Sealover123 · 19/10/2023 17:33

Ruby or Dora?

MatildaonMain · 19/10/2023 17:34

Some lovely suggestions, thank you! I meant to include Harriet in particular on my list, I’ve always liked it

Agreed with PPs. James is a classic so why not a classic for his sister. There's lots of lovely choices.

How about:
Katherine nn Kate/Katie
Eliza
Grace
Alice
Isabelle/Isabella

Or slightly more unusual:
Alexandra
Helena
Beatrice
Antoinette

Robocop91 · 19/10/2023 17:37

Out of your list i like Flora best.

I like the name Lily :)

MatildaonMain · 19/10/2023 17:39

I adore Beatrice and Helena! Lily too, although DH had a family budgie called Lily so maybe he would veto it

Jemima (as it's illustrative).

James and Jemima.

Realise its not in your list! Sorry!

Fahbeep · 19/10/2023 17:40

Alliterative, not illustrative!

Jewelspun · 19/10/2023 18:08

Ledia - no.
Venetia - no.
Cora - no but I love Coral.
Flora - margarine.
Eirinn - lovely if spelt Erin. I also like Elin.
Tabitha - beautiful name.

sleepymama3 · 19/10/2023 18:11

I like Cora from your list.
James and....
Sophia
Anna
Olivia
Emily
Amelia
Ciara
Caroline

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 19/10/2023 18:12

Cora is my favourite from your list. Harriet is nice too. Not a fan of the others. James is a lovely name.

aintnospringchicken · 19/10/2023 18:16

DuchessOfSausage · 19/10/2023 18:52

Harriet or Flora

Goodornot · 19/10/2023 19:43

Talitha is a more unusual alternative for Tabitha.

It means little girl.

belfastbelle78 · 19/10/2023 19:45
  • Ledia + Venetia - not a fan at all, unique in all the wrong ways!
  • Cora - quite nice, Cara is lovely as well. Not too common
  • Eirinn - not bad but people will assume it’s the more conventional Erin spelling and she will be having to constantly correct them
  • Tabitha - nice
  • Flora - meh
  • Beatrice - love it, my favourite by far and would be a strong contender if I had another DD!
  • Harriet - lovely
  • Helena - a bit middle aged woman to me
  • Lily - very basic and overused
