HelpRe: Tabitha
in reply to a message by queenv
I always see this here, re: Tabitha. As a Tabitha I've legit never gotten the "it's a cat name!" thing. Tabby cat is a nickname, but I've never gotten "that's a cat name".
Witch, on the hand... get that a lot. Not as often as I did as a kid in the 80s/90s when Bewitched was still on tv all of the time, but I still get it often enough.
I've been subbing these last few years as well and a lot of the teens I've been subbing have complimented me on the name and told me it sounds like the name of a character in a fantasy/historical book (I've actually had several different girls, in different classes say something along these lines this past year! so weird!). I'm not as up on YA as I used to be, but now I'm wondering if Tabitha is coming around in YA fiction lately.
eta: this is in IL btw, Chicagoland area. I've gotten the witch comment all over the US. When I was in England I just had folks telling me it was old fashioned.
