Re: What could you have been named?
in reply to a message by Ora (hufflepuffer)
I actually really like Tabitha too (best of those you listed, at least). Though, we considered Tanya or Tania for a long time ourselves.
Do you go by Tabitha, or a nickname?

I go by Tabitha most of the time. Tabby is something my parents, older relatives, and cousins usually call me. Tab is preferred by my sister and friends. Tabby Tabz is used by a few close friends and family members. Very few people use Tabby Cat-- pretty much just my mom and some aunts and cousins, i.e. people who've known me all my life and still remember that childhood nickname.
I'm cool with all of them, though if a stranger or someone I didn't know very well called me Tabby Tabz or Tabby Cat, I'd definitely side-eye them lol Don't know why, but those feel a lot more personal than the rest... maybe because the only people to really use those are the ones I've known all my life.
