Tabitha or Paloma?

[Bairns]

Evening!

I have two daughters: Matilda & Jemima.

Which of these names would you name their baby sister who is due later this year? Both names go well with our surname.

Matilda, Jemima & Tabitha

or

Matilda, Jemima & Paloma

Struggling for nicknames for Paloma, but have lots for Tabitha. Our daughters are called by their full names by our/ their friends. Although Matilda does get Tilda/Tildy at home and Jemima gets Jemi/Jem.

Any other suggestions? We would like another 3 syllable name that ends in ‘a’.

TIA xx

That was my first thought. It all sounds like a gathering of hedgehogs and bunnies inside a tree.

Matilda, Jemima & Tabitha is absolutely delightful for siblings!

We also have a little girl called Tabitha so we may be slightly bias however it is such a lovely classic name that goes wonderfully with your others!

Una paloma blanca! ABBA!

Paloma!

Lydia

Tabitha is my fave of the two.

Tabitha is lovely. Camilla?

Tabitha is my joint favourite girls name 👌

I like the name Tabitha but don’t think it goes with Matilda - they’re too similar. So I probably wouldn’t use either!

Melissa

Tabitha

None sorry.

I was trying to think of a name lol it must be late because my name is Tamara and that didn't even come into my head...

Love Tabitha. Also Claudia as a suggestion.

Love both, I have a Tabitha too! I thought the same about Paloma, no nickname although Lolo may work?! I also had Valentina on my list, but same again for nicknames, I hate Val and Tina. Genevieve too, but dislike Jen and eve. I think Tabitha fits best too with your other girls names

😂 this made me laugh. Yes, it's really twee. I've never got the love for Tabitha. I don't like it at all, nor Paloma.

For the OP I absolutely love Eliza or Louisa.

Also like Allegra or Lydia

Paloma. I never liked Tabitha nor any nm for it.

Love the suggested Allegra

Love Tabitha!

I prefer Paloma but think Tabitha goes better with your existing girls’ names.

Much prefer Tabitha but to put it with Jemima sounds way to Beatrix Potter. (Beatrix would actually go nicely with your other girls).

Of the two, Tabitha, but agree that it sounds a bit like you've taken names from children's books.

Paloma has a different vibe.
How about Harriet or Allegra?

Tabitha 100%

Tabitha

I vote for Tabitha (because that's my daughters name so obv its the best!!)
She was always Tabitha at home and school until she went to college and it got shortened to Tab or Tabs. She won't answer to Tabby as she isn't a cat
