Seems like they just told everyone they were expecting and now the babies are here. I just had twin girls that day too (Kyler and Karleigh). Congratulations on Marion and Tabitha !
Love Emmaleigh, Kyler, Karleigh and Matt <3 :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Yikes. Guess I won’t be sharing all this dislike to my 3 year old daughter, Marion. Sheesh.

WOW!!!!!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion!! It doesn’t matter that they are not my children, I can express my opinion of the names!! (As can anyone else!!)

Marion is HIDEOUS in English! (The way it’s pronounced)
En francais it’s lovely (comme Marion Cotillard) & quite popular.
But they won’t be raised en France! (…”happy days” comes to mind!) It is an old-fashioned, traditional, biblical name as many have already commented.

Tabitha is a biblical name, it’s lovely & sweet. To all of you looking for things with “Tabitha” on them- come to the UK!!

Tabitha is quite popular among the upper classes; along with: Imogen, Hermione, Tamsin, Tasmina, Georgina, Georgiana, Frederica, Gabriella, Octavia, Ophelia, Olivia, Tallulah, Allegra, Saskia, Annabella, Arabella, Beatrice, Eugenie, Eugenia, Helena, Rowena, Seraphina, Phillippa, Florence, Alice, Flora, Fleur, Frances, Charlotte, Cecelia, Thomasina, Theodora, Venetia, Virginia, Willow, Verity, Unity, Rosalind, Rosalie, Antonia, Sybilla, Heloise, Henrietta, Clementine, Madeleine, Isabella, Augusta, Delphine/Delphina, Delilah, Francesca, Alexia, Alexandrina, Allegra…etc

So they are in good company in England amongst the aristocracy! Let’s face it: Sarah, Matthew & James are extremely traditional (boring) biblical names so their choices of Marion et Tabitha are not that surprising et conform with the rest of the family!

Congratulations! Felicitations! To the whole family…

Welcome babies! Reminds me of a story, years ago I had a friend who named her newborn daughter Kenna…I worked in a hospital and found out one of my co-workers also had a daughter Kenna..When I told my friend this, she was so upset, because she had never heard of this name before..Then I told her that my co-workers daughter was 13 yrs old at the time, which really depressed her..As parents, we all chose the names that we want for our child, for our own reasons..Congratulations to all!

Im really happy for this couple, when I heard about the pregnancy it was the first time I was excited about an expectant celebrity couple. The name Tabitha really did not surprise me one little bit, I think its very SJP – classic, chic but also rather brave for this day and age. Marion shocked me a little bit but her second name relly justifies it, Marion Loretta is rather pretty! Despite the names the fact that this couple went as far as a surrogate to be parents again means that these little girls will be loved and doted upon by their parents and brother for the rest of their lives and that is the most important thing. Congrats, and I wish them health and happiness

Congratulations! I was so happy for Sarah Jessica and Matthew when I heard that they expected twin girls. They really seemed to want more children and they seem like great parents to James Wilkie. Now they have the perfect little family with one boy and two girls. I am sure that James will be a great big brother. Marion and Tabitha will be very cute and fashionable girls!

A little Ferris Bueller…or Ferista Bueller?

Y’know, when they’re older, i wonder what films the parents will show them?

From Matthew…Election? Inspector Gadget?

Parker…hmmm? Striking Distance?

Uhhh, see I have to strongly disagree with someone saying they’re gonna be made fun of with those names. Its names like Zuma, Bronx, Banjo, Pilot…etc that will get the name calling. These names are absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations to Sarah, Matthew and James!

Thanks Amie!

I love the anecdotes that have come from this detailing how people grew up with old-fashioned names, like Margaret. My name used to be old-fashioned, and it was a family surname, but became popular for ditzy cheerleader-types. Eeek.
I sincerely doubt anyone will make fun of them for their names, but the truth is, children will find humour in anything (Courtney Wartney, Corky!) and as long as they like them, that’s all that matters.

I agree with you Lis, not feeling the names at all.
