Comments and insights on the name Tabitha: | Edit

My name is Tabitha and I love it. I hate being called Tabby though. Tabitha is not a very common name and I like it. My name is Tabitha Brooke and I think it has a nice flow.

I was named Tabitha but unfortunately I have never liked going by my full name. With the sitcom show Bewitch which was produce a long way before I was born, I was constantly asked if I was named after Samantha's daughter. With this, I became very angry with my name. So I usually tend to go by my nickname, Tabi. - paprika-studios

Tabitha is an absolutely fantastic name. The name I would have chosen for myself. One thing though - I've seen it spelled with an 'a' instead of an 'i' in the middle. "Tabatha" just looks wrong!
