We won't be finding out the gender but I have always loved Hepzibah for a girl. It's not set in stone but a strong contender! Totally stumped for boys names though and in need of suggestions for equally unusual, strong names please!

Amos was my grandad's name and I love it! Nn moss/ mossie?

I've only really ever linked Hepzibah to Carrie's War so boys names that spring to mind are Nick and Albert!

I know someone with a Hepzibah, her brother is called Humfrey.

Argh I thought you were looking for more girls names and was going to suggest Bathsheba.

Jedidiah, Ishmael, Hector, Quentin, Nathaniel, Ignatius, Bartholomew, Jasper, Sirius, Cornelius, Ellarby, Ambrose, Alban. I taught a little Horatio once who was awesome and lived up to his name...he was really bloody smart, intelligent and a brilliant conversationalist.

Ezekiel immediately sprung to mind, I also like Zachary and Josiah, Ezra and Asa or moving away from biblical names Xavier, Cassius and Maxim/ilian.

Other less common girl suggestions - Keziah, Talitha or even Mehetabel?

Oh I adore that name! You might like Hezekiah for a boys name? (Who happened to be married to a Hephziba)
