I'm sure this will get slated but I will put it out there anyway, I like it but think it may have too much of a cat association.

Sorry yes I thought of cat food, it is nice though, sorry I keep thinking of cat food I am unable to separate the name from the food.

My first thought was 'Queen of...' but yes cat food too. It is pretty though and I think people would soon associate it with your child instead of anything else

Didn't they chance Sheba from cat food to dog food? Or was it the other way around? It makes me think if a big, bouncy German shepherd.

I have known both a feline and a canine Sheba.

'Arrival of the Queen of....' was my instant reaction

I suspect she'd get a lot of that.

You need to do the Dr Google test. If 'cat food' comes up top in a search, it's time to think again. I know a Shiva (female) but that makes me think of, well you know, the God.

Hhmmm yep pretty much the reaction I was expecting, I'm kinda the same to be honest, I think it is a lovely name but the associations are just so strong. Back to the drawing board I think.
