A Middle name for Hebe...

36 replies

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 03/08/2013 18:22

So,we seem to have settled on Hebe Grin
(We have Dulcie too in case she really doesn't seem like a Hebe once she arrives.)

But I can't find a middle name (or two) that 'sits right' for Hebe...

I have lots on a list of possibility's but I'd like to see what others think flows well Flowers

I think hebe seraphine sounds better than hebe seraphina
It kinda flows smoother I think

MrsGubbins · 04/08/2013 10:54

it's also pronounced Hib-bah, Arabic name

Bunbaker · 04/08/2013 10:50

She will grow up to be a very saucy child with the initials HP Smile

HoikyPoiky · 04/08/2013 10:38

Oops got the initials the wrong way around.

Hebe Juliet P-G
Hebe Seraphina P-G
Hebe Theodora P-G
Hebe May P-G

I think Hebe Theodora is my favourite....and offers her lots of nn options.

Is it too long?
The other 2 DC have 2 MN's making their full names 8 syllables long in total...

Hebe is pronounced HeeBee

Yes it double barrelled, so the 'HeeBee Peh-ree' rhyme won't stand out too much I don't think...

And no,I wouldn't use another flower/shrub name.

Lots of lovely suggestions...I'll mill over them now Grin

Typo

i don't know how to pronounce Hebe

HoikyPoiky · 04/08/2013 00:22

I wouldn't use another plant name otherwise she will sound like a herbaceous border.

I dont know do you pronounce Hebe?

Hebe Ellen
Hebe Louisa
Hebe Aloysia

MissingMyMarbles · 03/08/2013 22:15

Very jealous that you are allowed to use Hebe; my DH vetoed it!!

Love the suggestions above, but I don't think it has to be a long middle name, especially with a double barrelled surname.

Hebe Grace
Hebe May
Hebe Rose (although not keen on two plants, personally)
Hebe Jean
Hebe Kate

I assume you're looking for something more original?

TallulahBetty · 03/08/2013 21:45

Arf at Jebe Grin Grin Grin

CheeseFondueRocks · 03/08/2013 21:16

Is that a double barreled name? If so, I think you need a middle name with 2 syllables. If it's just Perry, 3.
