I know someone who has just called their child Bathsheba!! I’ve never heard the name before, is it literally said Bath - Sheba? Not that I’d ever say it but I think it might be one of the ugliest sounding names I’ve ever heard!

I like it. Better than blooming Eve or Lily.

Some people say Bath-sh-ba, some say Barth-Sheeba.

I’m not religious so I am familiar with it as it’s one of Thomas Hardy’s most famous female protagonists… Far From the Madding Crowd.

A strong biblical woman. Look her up.

It’s a biblical name, I quite like it. It was the name of I think my 5th great grandmother.
