Tobias and Tabitha?

Girl Names
1

Are Tobias and Tabitha to close to be siblings? If so what other girl name would you suggest instead of Tabitha?

It has to be unusual and biblical.

2

I do find them too similar and honestly don’t find Tabitha to be all that unique :woman_shrugging:t2: I do find in regards to biblical ness I’d see Tabias often getting misread as Tobias. But for Tabitha I’d just switch it to Talitha

Edit: it seems you fixed spelling so now I see it’s Tobias and not Tabias. So now I don’t see Tobias and Tabitha as too close. Although as one pointed out Toby and Tabby could be.

They probably are a bit close… maybe [name_f]Athalia[/name_f], [name_f]Dinah[/name_f], [name_f]Sarai[/name_f], [name_f]Drusilla[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f]?

I think they could work, but [name_f]Tabby[/name_f] and [name_u]Toby[/name_u] are a bit much.

Some other ideas

[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] and…

[name_f]Sarai[/name_f]
[name_f]Priscilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Talitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Tirzah[/name_f]
[name_f]Zillah[/name_f]
[name_u]Abilene[/name_u]

Alliterative with [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] and biblical:

[name_f]Tirzah[/name_f]
[name_m]Tabor[/name_m] is SUPER unique and has a lovely place in the Bible!

in full, they’re not too close, but i’d consider the somewhat-inevitable toby and tabby way too similar.
