Every time I see this name I think "Brattitha." Not a big fan, even though I have a distant ancestor from the 1700s with the name.

I like Tabitha. It has an elegant, dramatic feel, but it's not over the top by any means. Tabitha Jane and Tabitha Rose both flow nicely. Rose is beautiful, but very overused as a middle name. Tabitha isn't overly popular, so it wouldn't be that problematic, though. Jane is also popular as a middle name, so she'd have a popular middle name either way, but I don't see Jane quite as often as Rose. If you'd like something a tad more interesting, go with Tabitha Jane.

I like Tabitha. I don't particularly care for either Rose or Jane in the middle, but if I had to pick, Tabitha Jane is a little less humdrum.

I think it's a cute name, though I prefer it for a mn. Tabitha Jane is a lovely combo, very sweet.

Yep, I really like Tabitha. I love her quirky, yet pretty vibe. I'd love to see it used more often. Of your combos, I think I like Tabitha Jane better, but I'm biased since I plan to use Jane as a middle to honor my mom.The only thing that bothers me is the potential for Tabby as a nickname. I think I'd try and make Abby stick if I had a Tabitha.

I do like Tabitha, but it's going to be Tabby and therefore very feline, even before you get to Beatrix Potter and Cousin Tabitha Twitchett. Tabitha Jane has a more classic feel than Tabitha Rose; Tabitha Rosalie could work.I've actually got a soft spot for Talitha, which was familiar to the Victorians as a pointer to female emancipation!

I've always loved the name Tabitha. I guess the middle name would depend on the last name but, I think they both flow well.

LOVE Tabitha!!! It is one of my favorites!
Both combos are great, but Tabitha Jane is adorable!

I never liked Tabitha until I saw a TV dramatization of the Bronte sisters. Their cook was named Tabitha and suddenly it went from being a weird "Bewitched" name to a quaint Victorian one. Now I find it sweet and refreshing. Tabitha Jane is very nice. It underscores the English countryside feeling that I now have for Tabitha. Rose is English too of course. It's just that Rose and Grace seem to be the most overly used mns at the moment. Jane is not uncommon as a mn, but it's not as expected as Rose. Tabitha Willow, Tabitha Sparrow and Tabitha Scout are my stock combos for it.

I like Tabitha. I wouldn't use it but I'd like to see it. Right now I like Tabitha Rose because it's more dramatic, but I can also see the appeal of Tabitha Jane and I like that too. I do think I prefer Tabitha Rose though... maybe... I'd also like Tabitha Joan. Kind of the best of both worlds IMO.
