WDYT of the name Tabitha?

It sounds tired and dusty.
I like the sound and the look; I think it's unfortunate that it shortens to Tabby when there are so many tabby cats in the world. That makes it unusable for humans, IMO.
But, I very much like Talitha, also a biblical name for those who care about that kind of thing, and one of the first feminist slogans! When Jesus restored the centurion's daughter to life, he said "Talitha, cumi" which means "Little girl, get up". In England in the 19th century this became a call to women to live fuller lives, get educated, own and inherit money and property in their own right, maybe even vote one day! And it was used as a motto for girls' schools and women's colleges. I really like that. And I like the sound and the look as well!

I like it--the meaning is lovely--but I greatly prefer Talitha.
Not bad.
Better than a lot of other names out there.

I like the name but I’m not sure I’d use it on a baby girl. It’s a great name for a cat though.
The fact that so many people have mentioned it as a cat name makes it a not great name for a cat, IMO.
I like it, it makes me think of the little witch in "Bewitched". However I don't like it enough to use it for a baby. I'd use it on a black or tabby cat.
I love it! I enjoy the sound, and I think it’s just cute and fun.
It’s a name that I want to like, but it just sounds like a cat name.
I love it. I'm starting to think I don't mind the nickname Tabby so I might even use it if I were younger and hadn't already had all the kids I wanted to.
It's cute, but more like a cat's name than a person.
I think it's a funny, goofy name, and I never really saw the appeal. I like it on other people, though, because it's distinct and kind of interesting. It's very fussy and homely, though, and Tabby is a really ugly nickname.
