What is your opinion on [name]Tabitha[/name] honoring a [name]Timothy[/name]?
It’s a bit of a stretch, but certainly defensible. The most direct way would be [name]Timothea[/name], the name of my first grade teacher.
I think it wouldn’t be obvious, but sure.
I don’t think anyone would hear [name]Tabitha[/name] & think [name]Timothy[/name], but if you said it was for [name]Timothy[/name] I doubt anyone would argue with you. If you want people to know that you are honoring him you will have to tell them, if it feels right to you, go for it. I can’t think of much else! Any T name? [name]Kim[/name] names? [name]Dorothy[/name] or [name]Tam[/name]- names? Aside from [name]Timothea[/name] they all seem like a bit of a stretch!
I don’t see how they share anything other then the letter T and 3 syllables. If I met a [name]Tabitha[/name] and someone told me they were named that to honor Grandpa [name]Timothy[/name] or something like that I would think it was a little silly sorry 
It’s definitely a stretch. I agree that the most obvious way of honoring a [name]Timothy[/name] would be any of the “thea” names
- [name]Thea[/name]
- [name]Timothea[/name]
- [name]Theodora[/name]
- [name]Dorothea[/name] or [name]Dorothy[/name]
and if you’re brave enough
- [name]Theodosia[/name]
- [name]Theophania[/name] (or [name]Tiffany[/name])
- Theocleia
- [name]Theophila[/name]
I agree with thtxbelle. I guess you can just tell [name]Timothy[/name] that the shared initial is in his honour, but I can’t imagine him getting there otherwise.
What about [name]Timora[/name]?..
There’s a wild grass called [name]Timothy[/name] Grass, and the Nordic word for it is [name]Timotei[/name] ([name]TIM[/name]-o-tay)- a bit unusual maybe, but it could work for a girl, I think. Nature/plant names seem to be big right now, and you could start a new trend!
