Tabitha or Felicity?

Sibling for Beatrix. Middle name suggestions welcome too! I prefer Tabitha but our surname begins with T. Does this matter?

Thankyou!

I would probably go Felicity.

Beatrix and Tabitha are a bit Potter-esque for me but then I do quite like the idea of sisters Tabby and Trixie!

If you do go for Tabitha, just be mindful of initials when choosing middle names. You probably want to avoid Isobel, or Wendy Ann, for example.

Tabitha.

Prefer Felicity. Verity is similar.
Not keen on Tabitha. I know a teen one and she gets called 'Tabs'

Tabiffa puts me off.
Tabitha Wendy Ann is lovely.

Trix and Flicks, Bea and Flit,

Felicity Kate

Do you like Lucille?

Felicity for sure. With Tabitha-Tabitha the cat 🙄and she will become tabs

Adore Tabitha and think it has a similar quirky, fun feel to Beatrix. I love alliteration (makes a name more memorable imo) so your surname starting with T would be a bonus for me.

Felicity is more sweet, boho kind of style to me - nice name but prefer Tabitha, especially with Beatrix ( also slightly prefer Tabitha’s nn’s Kitty or Tabby to Fliss or Flick personally).

Tabitha Blythe or Eve maybe?

I much prefer Felicity. I'm not keen on Tabitha and, with a sibling Beatrix, I think the combo is far too Beatrix Potter.

If you prefer Tabitha then how about Talitha or Tassita? Similar vibe to Felicity and Beatrix without the Potter link?

Love Tabitha
Tabitha, Jemima, Tallulah and Beatrice, love them

KayEmAy · 21/03/2024 19:36

I like Felicity more but I am actually a fan of alliteration so I wouldn't let a T surname stop you from using Tabitha:)

some middle name ideas:

Tabitha Sarah
Tabitha Eden
Tabitha Phoebe
Tabitha Quinn

Felicity Nora
Felicity Blair
Felicity Emma
Felicity Alix

wildcards:
Tessa Lily
Abigail Ivy
Thea Felicity nn Teddy if she likes
Deirdre Jane
Lauren Odette

oneinamillieon · 21/03/2024 20:43

both are nice, but i'd go with felicity. tabitha is a nice name but a bit "old lady"

Love Tabitha but would never use it if I had a T surname, it just sounds so twee. On that basis I would use Felicity which is very pretty and Lissy, Fliss or Flick are cute nicknames.

i like Tabitha best, but Felicity is nice too.
