Thoughts on Tabitha please

[Eleta]

Now this is my all time fave girls name but dh was against it last two pregnancies so ended up with a Charlotte and a Molly. He thinks Tabitha is a cats name.

He is starting to come round as he knows how much I love it (I think he could be bribed! )

He really wants Lucy though. I would just like some thoughts from other people. Don't worry if you hate it, thats fine, I love it so much I don't care but am just interested in other peoples reactions

my neice has this as a second name too, are you my sister katsh?

tabitha is classy and quirky at the same time - mine is 12 and also has the dark hair feline eyes thing going on. she's lovely it's a lovely name, not even slightly 'grubby' it's hebrew for 'gazelle'.

We thought of Lucy, but couldn't live with the looselastic jokes that would (possibly) come.

I personally love Tabitha, but I was a Bewitched fan (sorry if you're too young to remember this one).

I'm not much of a judge of names though. I wanted to call my daughter Elora Dannon after the ickle baby in Willow.

That lasted right up til she was born when I came to my post-em cs senses and went for 2 much more practical names. Caitlin Megan.

Katsh, my ds calls his sister Taba too! sooo cute

friends call her Tabby and we call her Minnow or Mins! don't ask

OOOOOOOOOoh I love this! Dh would NOT be persuaded either. Just as well we had a boy really

Ha ha ha - I need to purge, sorry. I HATE it. My cousin called her daughter this and two and a bit years on I still wince every time I hear it. Ugh ugh.

I wanted this name, but it was vetoed. It is having a popularity explosion though, i'm hearing it being shouted all over the place lately.

Love it and in the early 90s swore I would call any future daughter this. By the time I had her I had changed my mind. I love that it means gazelle in Aramaic...beautiful sultry soft-sounding name

Love Tabitha, very pretty name. Although I've never met anybody with the name.

My daughter is a Tabitha and I'm a Lucy. I obviously love the name Tabitha but would say that I really like my name too, as it's one of those names that's never really in or out of fashion and I don't think it has dated in the way that trendier names have done. My Tabitha is 20 months old and calls herself Tata. I don't care about the cat connotations at all. So people think it's a cat's name? OK. Cats are beautiful, slinky, cool, collected, wise-seeming creatures to me. It's better than being called a warthog's name or a beetle's name IYSWIM.
