How does everyone feel about the name Tabitha? I was watching "Bewitched" (I admit it. Best show ever!) and I was reminded how much I like it. There's something so graceful about it, I think, but I suspect it's a kind of "either you love it or you hate it" name. My friend said that she, I'm quoting directly here, hates it with a fiery passion.
I could never, ever in my life use it for a first name, since it's nearly impossible to pronounce in Hebrew and all my relatives would freak out. But I think it sounds nice as a middle name. I tried to match it up with a few of my favourite names and it turned out pretty: Anna Tabitha, Ruby Tabitha, Lillian Tabitha. Can you think of combinations using similar names and Tabitha as a middle name?

On the other hand its constansty associated with Bewitched, I kid you not when someone forgets my name 8 times out of 10 they call me Samantha I assume because their like "Crap her name is like that character on Bewitched it must be Samantha!" It becomes annoying LOL.
Also the name is often shorten to Tabby which I hate!
