Sister for Tabitha

[persephonescrown]

Our favourite girl name is Tabitha and has been for ages. What would you name a second girl if her elder sister was Tabitha?

We generally like literary/mythological/historical names, happy for them to be a bit off the beaten track but looking for something that will pass the ‘yelling across the playground’ test, especially for my husband whose taste runs slightly less eccentric than mine

Our surname is so trying to avoid names/nicknames which are too rhymey eg. Phoebe

(No kids yet but trying to get our name-ducks in a row!)

Thanks for the Tabitha love everyone

@EvelinRose thank you for such a lovely long list! Beatrice is a potential middle for us and I’m a big fan of Athena, Artemis, and Yvette (we have also talked about Yvaine!). Also love Matilda and Rosamund but they’re already in our circle of friends.

@jessicaflux Elowen is one I’ve discovered on NB and it’s so pretty. Also like Isolde, Seraphina and Rosalind! Persephone is one of my ultimate favourites but it rhymes with my name unfortunately haha.

@Greyblue love the vibe of Guinevere, Morwenna and Elowen

@abigajl oh I love Echo! Jemima was a contender until we realised Jemima and Tabitha are both Beatrix Potter characters so it’s a bit themey. I also really like Verity.

@MichelleM Imogen is on our middles list! And I love Violet

[persephonescrown]

@lenamurph love Philippa → Pippa and Sylvia → Sylvie!

@snowmaiden aw thank you, it does feel really special, we both love it! I normally go for longer names but Mabel and Nell on your list are the sweetest. Zella is interesting! And Beatrice and Imogen are both on our middles list

@janeybaby what a fabulous list. I love Artemis, Apolline, Isolde, Morgana, Hera, Aurora, Demeter and Thisbe, can’t resist the Greek names!! Morgana and Tabitha would be a rather witchy pair

@Strawberry.Bunny love Artemis, Violet and Rosalie. I’ve always liked that Euphemia shortens to Effie but since I’m Stephie that’s probably not realistic

@18_25 love Esther and Hester, also Hesper!

@seawillow I do love Cordelia, so pretty but I can’t get over her rather tragic end

@Elizastory that’s such a lovely pair! Also love that Felicity can be Fliss or Flick although neither sound great with my surname

@Ehrob1 Tabitha and Winifred / Winnifred would be another very witchy sisbet!
