Tabitha

in Baby Names
Looking for traditional yet not overly used girls names like Tabitha. Beatrice and Jane are examples of names I feel meets this criterion too but DH has vetoed both. He's on the fence about Tabitha. Some examples of name that don't fit the bill are: grace, Charlotte, Abigail.

    My DD is Tabitha!  Love it. 

    She says, "I like my name.  Not all substitute teachers can pronounce it, but that doesn't bother me.  It means 'gazelle' which I like.  It's ironic because I'm not the most graceful person."<

    Carlotta, Francine, Georgia, Johanna, Bethany, Maureen are all names that I consider to be more on the traditional side.

    To second/third/fourth PP's, SIL is Sabrina and she loves her name.

    Love Tabitha!    But I'm also of the generation that remembers that it was the daughter's name on "Betwitched."   Not a deal breaker, tho, since no one under 40 would probably remember that.

    I like the name, but of course I am biased!  I grew up with everyone always asking if I could twitch my nose like Bewitched, but since the show is quite old now Im sure your DD would not get that much.  Its also a biblical name, the woman was
