It used to remind me of either a witch or a cat (with the nn Tabby). Now, our neighbors have the cutest toddler named Tabitha and It's grown on me a little. The name fits her, and it's not too popular.
Since my name is Samantha and I used to watch Bewitched I always sort of toyed with the thought of naming my daughter Tabitha. The other kids the same age as her probably wouldn't make the connection anyhow.
That show is before my time, I didn't even realize that was a character's name! I don't know why else it would sound witchy to me, though.. stupid TV putting associations in my head and not informing me ;-)
I think you're right, kids don't have the same name associations we do, each generation has their own. The name Zoe, for example, sounds trendy to us, but to kids it's a muppet.. like naming a kid Elmo.
