[Opinions] Tabitha
I really love the name Tabitha and have been searching for a good middle name, specifically one that starts with the letter I. I can't use Ivy because of a bad association and I can't use Iris because my last name ends in the -iss sound, when said in English. I also just don't care to use Isabel (or any of its variations). That being said, what do you think of the combo Tabitha Imogen? Does it bother anyone else that both names have three syllables or do you think it works anyway? Would Tabitha Ilona, Tabitha Irene, Tabitha Irina, or Tabitha Ingrid be better? I'm open to other suggestions, as long as they aren't nicknames.

Tabitha Imogen is cute, as it Tabitha Irene. I can think of a couple more: Tabitha Ivory. Tabitha Ione (ee-own).

I thought of Ingrid,before I read all of your post, so I guess that's my pick.Isla?
Iva? I used to know a girl named Iva, quite a good name. Tabitha Imogen works well.

Usually it does bother me that both first and middle are the same amount of syllables, but because Tabitha and Imogen sound so different I think that they work. The seriousness and beauty of Imogen also offsets the immature, cute vibe of Tabitha too, which I like.
Tabitha Imogen is by far my favourite out of the ones you've suggested. I like Tabitha Isis but I guess it wouldn't work with your last name. So, Tabitha Imogen it is :)

I go back and forth on whether it bothers me or not, but to put it in perspective, it'd be similar to Isis Willis (not my real last name, but it has a similar ending). That sounds bad, right? It's not just me? For the record, I like the name Isis a lot too, as well as the combo Tabitha Isis. ;)

To put it into even more realistic perspective, how often would she be called Tabitha Isis Willis? Surely formally she'd be Tabitha Willis, to friends and family she'd be Tabitha, and when naughty she'd be Tabitha Isis, right?
So would Tabitha Isis Willis be used that much other in the first few weeks when your telling everyone her name?I don't know, all together I think it's not too bad. Isis Willis is bad, but Tabitha Isis Willis... Not so much. :)

I like the name Tabitha. I've considered it on and off over the years. My main hesitation is that I can't come up with any nicknames I like to go with it. The following lists are in order from best to worst.By look:
Tabitha Imogen
Tabitha Irina
Tabitha Ingrid
Tabitha Irene
Tabitha IlonaBy sound:
Tabitha Irene
Tabitha Imogen
Tabitha Ingrid
Tabitha Ilona

It's nice to see name Tabitha :)Tabitha Imogen is lovely combo and the two names go very well togetherTabitha Ilona is nice as well. More unusually than Imogen, it sounds quite exoticTabitha Irene - This combo sounds quite old, which is okay if you like that style. I love the name Irene because of the meaning 'peace'. I'd use it just for that reason personally!Tabitha Irina - Not my style, but a nice exotic comboTabitha Ingrid - I don't really like this combo as the two names are so different in style.
Perhaps you'll like Tabitha Isolde
Tabitha Imelda
Tabitha Inanna
