Hephzibah

[BirdieFriendReturns]

Or Hepzibah

Nice?

I like it, because it reminds of reading Carrie's War, many years ago. I agree with PP comments re medical sounding possible shortenings,
though.
I like Hester more, again because of liking the book character.
I haven't ever named a girl, but also don't like the 'simpering' 'E/A' names.
I LOVE Angharad.

Love it. And PP's suggestion of Tzipporah (though I'd spell it without the T)

I know a fabulous one who we call Zib so I love it.

Love it! Are you brave enough though?

Like it. I know a cool Hepzibah. She is Zi for short.

Also like Bathsheba.

Unless you're upper upper class can you honestly hand on heart imagine shouting that across the park witht getting some erm strange looks.

Er excuse me. Hepzibar is a lovely name.

My mother loved 7 Brides for 7 bothers. Millie carried on from their mother "Hannah, Hagar or Hepzibah?". He chose Hannah 

Or Bathsheba from Thomas Hardy?

I’m actually an Hon. so perhaps I am posh enough to carry it off?

So am I as it happens

By MN lore that means we can call our kids what we like. Not everyone is allowed apparently.

I have always loved this name. Put it on my list, but DH just wouldn’t have it. Could be shortened to Heppy or Zizzi maybe. Go for it!

Bathsheba! Yessss!

I like it and I really like Hepsie as the nn but every r said it sounds like Hep C :(

Such beautiful names! Bathsheba!

Awful, very ugly name. Eppie reminds me of epileptic.
