[Opinions] Re: Hephzibah
Did she prn it like HEF-zih-beh or hef-ZEE-buh? Just curious. Hephzibah seems like one of those unusual names that could take on different pronunciations.

I'm just listening to it and she says Hep-zi-bah. She was known as Hepsy as a child. Her sister is apparently Seraphina, so what a great sib-set.

Yes.I just asked mafiosa below this same question, except I've always heard the name as "HEP-zi-bah." How did the young woman on your radio program pronounce her name?

The young woman on the radio program pronounced Hepzibah with a "p" sound at the end of the first syllable, as you do.

HepzibahI pronounce it like that too. No idea why...it's not like I even know anybody by that name or anything!
