It's probably my #1 favorite girl name, but it got severely vetoed back when I was pregnant with our son, and so I am almost giving up hope on it. :(

[katie-oo7.livejournal.com]

I love it! I'd definitely use it.

I think if you have to explain how it's pronounced, it's a bad idea.

It sounds like someone's talking with a lisp.

I agree with the person above, it sounds like someone speaking with a lisp. I automatically pronounced it 'TAL-ith-ah'.

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

It seems like Tabitha gone wrong.

[bluekoala.livejournal.com]

Exactly what I thought.

[petitpapillion.livejournal.com]

The name is actually a variant of Tabitha, that dates back to Biblical times :)

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I prefer Tabitha.

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure why, because I hadn't heard it before, but I automatically pronounced it tah-LEE-tha, before reading the comments. Do I get a prize? I like it.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

hehe yes! one cookie for you :D
i met one girl once with the name, and she was drop dead gorgeous. then i found out it is Aramaic, meaning "little girl." very sweet IMO.

I like it and I don't see a problem with the pronounciation. Even though I'm German I know how it is pronounced o.0

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised with the pronunciation issues. I didn't know it wasn't that well known of a name.

[norwegianeyes.livejournal.com]

nah.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I don't like it at all. It's the l in there that makes the name seems sinister, because it reminds me of talons I think.

But I do really like Tabitha, so there you go.

I went to high school with a girl named Talitha. She looked like a skeleton. Not a good association for me.

[shortbutfast.livejournal.com]

i like it. much better than tabitha.

[sweetrhythms.livejournal.com]

I don't really like it because I have a difficult last name to pronounce and it's SO annoying having to tell people how to pronounce it CONSTANTLY. That, or the pause that sometimes happens right before they get to my name on a class list or something...it's a very long and awkward pause...hehe good luck with the name though!
