User Comments about the name Tabitha


Comment left Aug 13, 2008: "Hi yes I am another Tabitha, I am Britisha nd born in 69, so i grew up with a very unusual name. My friends call me Tabs and I have never been a Tabby. I met my first other Tabitha when I was 27 and since then have met more and it certainly seems to be getting a bit more popular now. It comes from the greek Dorcas which is the Gazelle connection and wierdly when I look up my full name in google, there appears to be an american woman who lived hundreds of years ago with the eaxt same name- what are the odds of that!? Tabitha Jane Cowen. I love my name now, I amquite outgoing so I find it Ok now when i introdue myselkf, but as a child I mumbled it and when pople misheard or got it wrong I was too embarrassed to correct them, but that soon changed!"

Comment left Jul 29, 2008: "I have adored this name ever since I was a little girl reading Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of Tom Kitten". If I ever have a girl, her name will be Tabitha. A cute and beautiful name; I hope it never becomes too popular so that it remains special." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 02, 2008: "HI my name is Tabitha aswell... Ive only ever met one other Tabitha in my lifetime and i was so exited :P sad I know but its just so weird to experience you know what I mean. All of my friends know at least two other people in the class with their same name and they all say its really annoying because of the fact that they look every time someone says their name. I REALLY don't like being called 'Tab'. its just so not me.... I get Tabikat some times and my mum and dad call me 'Tabsy' but only they are allowed to call me that x] What really annoys me as well is that loads of people pronounce it wrong but most of the time its not their fault... take my german teacher for example, he says it Tab-ee-tha and people take the mick but I know its not his fault.... French people have an EXTREMELY difficult time saying it.... my ski instuctor ended up calling me Tobey for the rest of my holiday after two days of of saying 'you...erm.... tabee.... oh it is too difficult for me' All in all I absolutely love my name and wouldn't change it for the world... no ody ever forgets it and i am unique in a school of 1000+ girls... Its amazing" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 01, 2008: "My mom named me Tabitha because it was a witches name... ha" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 18, 2008: "Yeah my names tabitha. I used to think it was bad because i didnt know anybody with the same name as me, but its unique and it makes people remember me more. I cant stand when people call me Tabby, i only let my family call me it. some nicknames i've gotten from people are Tabs Tabeetha Tabifa Tabither Tab-Lynne Tabertha and Tabby." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jun 16, 2008: "Well I have the same name but only spelled differntly it's TabAtha.that's it.but i love the name so unique." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 02, 2008: "My name is Tabitha, too :] I was named after the show Bewitched, and everyone thinks the name fits me well...I despise being called 'Tab' or 'Tabby' though." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jun 01, 2008: "Hello, my name is Tabitha as well. Yeah, our name is very uncommon. Especially uncommon among the black community. So much so older people just end up calling me another name that begins with a T. Usually Tiffany lol. But there have been instances where I have come across other people who have known another Tabitha. And she was always some wiley young woman. When I was younger I despised my name. I wished that my mom would have given me a "blacker" sounding name. After discovering and appreciating the history of the name, how could I not love it! A lot of names don't come close to the rich history of Tabitha. And guys come across a Nicole, Jennifer, or Amanda everyday. But only about 2 Tabithas in a lifetime. So rest assured he's one to rememeber you :)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left May 12, 2008: "I named my baby girls Tabitha. I think is unique and the name has a nice flair to it. We call her Tabi." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Apr 18, 2008: "My name is also Tabitha which is a very unusual name for a black woman. I often hang out with my "T" crew. Tamika, Tanika, Tanisha, Tanita, and Tabitha. I like being the one with the unusual name. People remember it." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Apr 13, 2008: "My name is Tabitha... I used to hate my name it was so different and weird but I have come to love it!!! Everyone calls me Tabi or Tab so i never really use my whole name unless I am being yelled at!!! I attend a school with atleast 2500 people and I find it AMAZING that I am the only one who is named Tabitha..." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 15, 2008: "My cat is called Tabitha cos she is a tabby cat. And yes she does twitch her nose. ALOT." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 13, 2008: "Tabitha here. I like it, and other people love to play off of it. When a head honcho of my company asked if he could call me "Tab" I said no. My name is Tabitha, and I go...by Tabitha...because it's my name! I was born in 88. I've seen Bewitched people! And it's in the Bible.. Hello fellow Tab(i,e,a)tha's!" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Mar 10, 2008: "My granddaughter's name is Tabatha, and at first I didn't like it, but I do now. I grew up with the tv show, and my daughter watched it also, and always liked the name. Our little Tabbie is a beauty!!" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Feb 24, 2008: "My name's Tabitha...I also get asked if I watched Bewitched. You know what's funny? My name was taken from that show. You know what's even funnier? My mom's name is Samantha. My mom's dad (who died when my mom was 3) used to love Bewitched, so they named my mom Samantha. In his memory, my mom named me Tabitha. So I'm actually named after the show...unlike you posers." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 18, 2008: "Hi, my name is Tabatha, or Tabby for short. I used to wonder why such a name? Because everyone thinks they are so clever to remember the name of Samantha's daughter. But now i have decided that it fits me! It conveys a cute quirkiness, and a soft kindness. In the Bible it is the name of a kind seamstress that is brought back to life by God. (through Paul) It is the perfectly feminine name, and I am glad to be one of the rare Taba(i)tha's!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 17, 2008: "I adore the name Tabitha. Its just a beautiful name in my opinion. I also like the fact it isn't that common these days and I can see it aging well. It's one of the names I would choose to use for my future daughter. =)" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 14, 2008: "My name is Tabitha as well and i constantly get asked if i watched the show Bewitched. And whenever someone spells my name its spelled Tabatha or some how they incorporate an I and an e in there. I dont know. I just wanna yell "SOUND IT OUT!" But other than that I love my name because it is unique and I dont know anyone else with it. I as well go by Tabbi for short (I added the extra 'b' just to make it harder on people, haha thats always fun)." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Feb 08, 2008: "My name is Tabitha...most people pronounce it like there is an A instead of an I lol but it gets on my nerves. I looked my name up an i found that it mean gazelle an i was like dang my parents have all these different names for my brothers and sisters that mean gods gift from above an wat not. but i have come to except that gazelles are beautiful animals, and im a beautiful person. I get asked most often if my parents liked the show bewitched but they actually didnt lol.. i spell my nickname different from most others i spell mine.. TABBIE.it shows my individuality a little but i really love my name an could never picture myself being a courtney or brittany or anything like that...my name just fits me so well..!!!" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Jan 03, 2008: "My eldest daughter is called Tabitha so obviously I think it is cool lol! We get mixed reactions but it suits her so well. We shorten it to Tabi as well which I think is cute (she is only 3)" (Report as inappropriate)
