Hebe...

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

Will she be forever confused with Phoebe? Have to put up with Constant jokes about the 'Hebe Jeebees'?

We both like it which is shocking the only other name we both agree on is Flora.

I love love love Hebe but because some people may not have heard it before it may get confused with Phoebe!

I know a little Hebe I think it's a very sweet name

I like it. A shame Hebes are such boooooring plants though. Flora is beautiful and would have been my choice if it didn't unfortunately rhyme with my name.

I love Hebe - great name!

My DD2 is Hebe (Elizabeth), it does sometimes get confused with Phoebe, but it's not really a problem.
I love it and have had lots of positive feedback about it. If you like a name go for it, every name has the potential to be confused or have negative connotations.

Most people I have met have associated it with Greek mythology rather than the plant....it is a boring looking plant! (But apparently the national plant of NZ.) Never heard about it being used as Jewish slang and live in quite a Jewish area.

Yes,it was that blog Schmaltzing

I quite like the plant but agree the mythology is more interesting and I just love the way the word sounds.
I feel the same way about Arlo...it's a name I could say over and over just for the love of the word

UpTheFrigg, my garden is now full of them, been given hebes left right and centre! At least there are a lot of varities

It's a perfect name.

I love Hebe. Beautiful name.

I think,quite shockingly,we may have settled on Hebe

My granda was affectionately call heebie by my gran, he was Herbert. So you could still use it.

I also love Blythe, but with ds being Blair, to matchy matchy!
