Sorry but I don't like it.

scrab806ble · 30/05/2010 13:38

Lovely name for a lovely DD. Think it means 'little deer' or something similar?

muggglewump · 30/05/2010 13:39

Love it. It was exdp's suggestion for DD and if he'd pushed even a bit I'd have agreed.

LetThereBeRock · 30/05/2010 18:13

Hate it.

My expectant daughter decided this for her first girl's name 20 years ago. Feminine, pretty and hopefully she will run with it.

DD's best friend is Tabitha (Tabi or Tabs here). She is delightful.

persephonesnape · 30/05/2010 20:26

that must be my Tabitha Clemette(!)

mine is called Tabi or Tabs - which i don't like as much. I call her 'fab', or 'baffa' (the latter stuck when her little brother couldn't pronounce the whole name.

it means 'gazelle', it's hebrew.

persephonesnape · 30/05/2010 20:27

ooh, if you like Tabitha - our other ideas for subsequent DDs (who turned out to be DS's) were Clementine & Matilda,

WinkyWinkola · 30/05/2010 20:28

If I ever have another dd, she will be Tabitha. Biba for short. Love it.

But then I love Flora, Florence and Eliza too. But perhaps I'll never have to decide between them.

choufleur · 30/05/2010 20:30

Tabby .... cat

countrybump · 30/05/2010 20:30

Love it - it was on our list, and would use if we ever have another DD, NN Tabby.

Needaname · 30/05/2010 22:13

Love it.

Eglu · 30/05/2010 22:20

Love it.

Hedwig3 · 30/05/2010 22:26

Great name, lovely.

EvilTwins · 30/05/2010 22:28

I have a friend named Tabitha - NN Bith. I've always liked it.

CantSleepWontSleep · 30/05/2010 22:29

Great name to be called. I'm not often shortened but when I am it's to Tabs.

luciemule · 30/05/2010 22:36

My niece is called Tabitha (Tabbie/Tabs NN).
I think it's lovely.

CaptainNancy · 30/05/2010 22:38

...but I'm going to call you Bitsy from now on!

funnysinthegarden · 30/05/2010 22:59

Tabitha is a lovely name. Shame I never had a girl

dizzydixies · 30/05/2010 23:02

love it and LOVING Bitsy

boodleboot · 31/05/2010 08:12

Biba is great NN also tho it must be said. i lovfe the fact that Tabitha feels like such a feline name cos we are cat bonkers in our house....

(hmm...wondering if Tabitha Moomin is bridge too far.....?!?!?)

If I ever have a girl she'll be Tabitha. I don't like the nickname of Tabby. She'd be her full name or perhaps Bibi or Bee.
