Hebe is fantastic.

I love, love, love it!

Unfortunately, my husband didn'tSad

I wanted Hebe Lucia.

I would use Thea instead of Theadora.

Don't mind Dulcie.

Don't like Hebe.

I like Clementine (nn Clemmie), but I'm never certain as to whether the proper pronunciation is Clemen-teen, or Clemen-tyne.

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 08/08/2013 10:16

Clemen-Tyne IME.

DP can't say Thea,so that's out.

I started off thinking I hated both names, but as I've read the thread Hebe has really started to grow on me! I do think Theodora may be a bit 'much' with it, but love the suggestions of Hebe Myrtle or Hebe Margot (also love Ivy with either of those middle names).

Dulcie makes me think instantly of the snobby spoilt cousin in Noel Streatfield's Dancing Shoes, so I don't like it!

pygmy · 08/08/2013 12:58

How about Dora?

Dora Clementine?

BaronessBomburst · 08/08/2013 13:09

Hebe Theodora

Mollie272 · 08/08/2013 19:44

Hebe Theodora is lovely - not very keen on Dulcie as I associate it with a former pupil who was very hard work!

Love Clementine as well.

alicetrefusis · 08/08/2013 21:09

Dulce - hmm - but what if she's really loud?

OutragedFromLeeds · 08/08/2013 21:40

Dulcie Clementine actually made me lol. It sounds like a bad orange 'oh I've got a dulcie clementine, are there any others?'

Hebe is also terrible imo

Dulcie Theodora would be my favourite from those 4

I really like Dulcie Clementine. I think it rolls off the tongue nicely.

5madthings · 13/08/2013 10:08

Frigg I have checked the ons baby name statistics, only 11 girls were called Hebe last year. So no worries that it will get really popular! Grin
