[Opinions] Hephzibah
WDYT of Hephzibah?I'm a big fan of quirky, whimsical names, so of course I've started to love this one. In my mind, it's sunshine yellow and bouncing all over the place. And the meaning is just as wonderful as the name.I like that it doesn't take itself too seriously, but do you think it's too silly to use in real life? Would you use a nickname? Any combo suggestions?Thanks for your opinions!

Very GP for me. I can't imagine on a real person, but it would be awesome on a cat.

I love it, especially with the nickname Effie.

I love it! When I get a parcel of land and have mini-goats, Hephzibah will be one of them. Right along with Esther and Abraham!

I love it! I think it would make an amazing first name. The nicknames Ephie / Effie and Ziba / Zibah would be cute.

There's a little Hephzibah at Ella and Olivia's school. She'd be 5 or 6. She's so cute.I really like the meaning, but the sound isn't my favoruite, so I'd only consider it for a middle name. I think its fine for someone else to use.I think one of the things I don't like about it is that I can't seem to come up witha workable nn that I like. Effie, perhaps?Hephzibah Lucy
Hephzibah Ruby
Hephzibah Pearl
Hephzibah Grace
Hephzibah Esther
Hephzibah Mary
Hephzibah Frances
Hephzibah Jade
Hephzibah Lily

Aww, it's awesome that you know a little Hephzibah! Effie sounds too much like my name for me to actually use, but I like it in theory.Hephzibah Lucy and Hephzibah Mary are darling.

Hepzibah is anything but whimsical and yellow to me, but it's an outstanding name. It certainly demands your attention.I wouldn't use is in real life, though. Kids would have a field day with that one.
