I have tried to like this name, but as other posters have pointed out, it just reminds me of "Heebie Jeebies". :-/ I found out a while back that the twin girls who played Baby Agatha in "Nanny McPhee" were named Hebe & Zinnia (LN Barnes). I prefer Zinnia. :b

it gives me the heebie-jeebies

I mean, listen to it! "He be." He be what? And it's a she.

ANd also Hebe, pronounced heeb, is a very derogatory term for a Jewish person.

I agree..

I really like the meaning and history of it but the sound...not at all. All I can think of is the hebie jeebies- and I think that this, unfortunatly, is unavoidable.

I like the meaning and history of Hebe, but not the sound. I think Grace Hebe would work if you were really attached to the name, as Grace is so much more refreshing in the fn spot.

By the way - welcome to the boards! :) I'm a 15 year old name nerd too, glad I'm not alone on that lol

I don't really like it. To me, it sounds like the beginning of a grammatically incorrect sentence ("He be . . ."). Hebe Grace does flow nicely though, which I can admit despite loathing the name Grace in the mn slot.

In theory, I like it. But when I say it out loud, I can't help but want to follow it with "Jeebies"

Hebe Grace is cute.
