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.

Sheba? Hmmm I'm not really 'feline' it Smile

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

Cat food...so sorry!!

Franglaise...brilliant!!

Sorry - you bullying potential massive

munchkinmaster · 23/01/2013 19:49

Eh - you know what I mean ....

Moominsarehippos · 23/01/2013 19:53

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.

SecretNutellaFix · 23/01/2013 19:56

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.

Moominsarehippos · 23/01/2013 20:02

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.

HillBillySillyBilly · 23/01/2013 20:06

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.
