I like Clea (Although not to the extent of Cleo) & Naomi (If pronounced with 'Nay' as opposed to 'Nie') Tabitha on the other hand I don't really care about although I don't necessarily hate it either. Sure there are plenty of better names out there but I wouldn't grind my teeth if I ever came across one.

I love Tabitha and always have. I've suggested it to my husband but he's nixed it. The same for Naomi.

I don't care for Clea, I prefer Cleo.

Tabitha sounds like the name of a tired, suburban mother to me, and I prefer Cleo to Clea. Naomi is lovely, though.

I like them all. I prefer Cleo to Clea but I still enjoy it. :)

I like Tabitha and Naomi. Both are old-fashioned names that never really saw much use.

Rationally I know that Clea is a classic and good name, but I just can't bring myself to like it, or any other name beginning with Cl-. I just don't like that sound at all.

Tabitha is cute but very much sounds like a cat's name. Naomi is beautiful. Don't like the sound of Clea and am never quite sure how to pronounce it. Klee or Klee-ya.

I like Tabitha and Naomi

I know a Clea whose mother named her after the Lawrence Durrell character. She says that everyone hears it as Clare, to the extent that she wishes she'd just been named Clare and got it over with. Me, I much prefer Clare.
Naomi is different without being peculiar, which is nice. But there are gazillions of names I like better, Ruth being one.
Tabitha would be lovely if only tabby cats were called something else. As it is, I much prefer Talitha: I've only ever met one, and she didn't have a nn, which is also a plus.

I love Naomi, Like Clea (Better than Cleo) and I don't like Tabitha. Seems kind of old-ladyish to me, and reminds me of clams for some reason.
