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

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

Hebe jeebies Sad

Biba is ok though Smile

PoppadomPreach · 26/02/2013 21:42

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 Sad

Biba is ok tough

throwinshapes · 26/02/2013 21:40

Hebe is beautiful and botanical.

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.

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.

HorryDrelincourt · 26/02/2013 21:22

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

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

IslaValargeone · 26/02/2013 21:22

Biba is fabulous.

MustafaCake · 26/02/2013 21:22

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

How about:

Vivienne (Vivi)
Tula
Arla
Etta
Hera
Gigi

Rhubarbgarden · 26/02/2013 21:21

Hebe is ok. Biba sounds like an electronic noise.

highlandbird · 26/02/2013 21:21

eatyourveg · 26/02/2013 21:19
