I'm sure it's been said many times, but Dorcas sounds too much like dork - and mucus, come to think of it. Very harsh-sounding.
Now, Tabitha I love! And I think Tabi is a great nickname. Would you like Tabitha if there were other nn options? Bitsy? Beth? Tabs? Tabsy?
On a somewhat related note, I find it interesting now names are changed as they make it into other languages and often to not even resemble each other. Makes me wonder why they even say that it's a related name instead of just letting it be two completely different ones. Other than Dorcas/Tabitha I am thinking of James/Tiago. I'm sure there are many others.
