Do you like either...also could you suggest more names in a similar style?

I like Biba but not keen on Hebe I'm afraid. Phoebe?

How about Lebe?

i sort of like Biba, but don't like Hebe at all.

could you possibly give a few more names that you like.

first ones that come to mind

Lois

Myrtle

Nancy

I know a hebe - much nicer than biba

Love hebe but not biba I'm afraid!

Hebe is ok. Biba sounds like an electronic noise.

Biba is OK. Don't like Hebe at all.

How about:

Vivienne (Vivi)
Tula
Arla
Etta
Hera
Gigi

Biba is fabulous.

I was at school with a Biba who was Edwina in full. The nickname a squillion times cooler than the full and suited/still suits her.

Hebe is a plant, isn't it? Not My Style.

DD2 was known as Biba when she was younger. It was a nickname based on her real name.

Someone did once ask me if we'd named her after the 1960s department store.

Biba is a 60s/70s clothing label which is still on sale in House of Fraser as a retro line. Google it. I really wouldn't use it as a name.

As others have said Phoebe is a good alternative. It was my GGG GM's name who was born in 1820.

Hebe is beautiful and botanical.

Hebe jeebies

Biba is ok tough

DS1 has a Biba in his class who he insists is called beaver.

Bt I do think Biba is a lovely name, not so keen on Hebe - as in heebeegeebees?

Hebe jeebies

Biba is ok though

Like Hebe. Don't like Biba.

Biba makes me think of Justin Bieber.

Hebe is a jolly nice name.

Polly
Lara
Maudie
Libby
Fifi

Like Hebe, v pretty. Don't like Biba

I love Hebe, but Biba sounds short for something else.

No

Hebe is garden hedging.

Biba is a clothes label.

One would be fine. You're not having twins though, are you? Together they sound like a baby's babbling.

Hecate
Bibe (Chinese, pronounced bee bee)
Zoe
Leda
Hero
Juno

I was at school with a Lida, Czech nn for Ludmilla.

How about
Mila
Livia
Cleo
Lyra
Lena
Vida
Vita

I quite like Biba, but I love Hebe.
