HelpRe: Tabitha
in reply to a message by AbbyWendyD
I like the sound and the look; I think it's unfortunate that it shortens to Tabby when there are so many tabby cats in the world. That makes it unusable for humans, IMO.
But, I very much like Talitha, also a biblical name for those who care about that kind of thing, and one of the first feminist slogans! When Jesus restored the centurion's daughter to life, he said "Talitha, cumi" which means "Little girl, get up". In England in the 19th century this became a call to women to live fuller lives, get educated, own and inherit money and property in their own right, maybe even vote one day! And it was used as a motto for girls' schools and women's colleges. I really like that. And I like the sound and the look as well!
