I have to say that I don't mind the name at all, simply because of the super sweet meaning.

I think the sound is the main problem with it. Having so many unusual sounds such as P, Z and B all in one name sounds strange.

That is a nice meaning. I still think it has a pretty harsh sound and look to it. Somehow the Hepz- part just bugs me.

I agree it has a very nice meaning but the sound is not conventionally pretty. All those awkward consonants together...the pz transition is especially difficult to get used to. It also has a very distinctive Old Testament feel which might put some people off. Hepzibah does have a kind of lumpy charm though.
I think I prefer Hephzibah with an "ef" sound. Actually I am really warming to Hephzibah with Effie as a nickname so thank you for making me think about Hephzibah!

Nothing really wrong with it, I don't think. It does Seem like a bit of a doozer for a little baby, though. I'd never have the nerve to use it, but with the right nickname I could grow to like it on someone else's kid. Hepzi - like Pepsi?

Nothing is wrong with it, not in my eyes.

While I love Biblical names... this one's a bit "out there" for me. Is it pronounced with a z-eye-bah on the end, or a z-ib-ah?

Aw.

I adore Hepzibah. It makes me think of "Hallelujah!" Hepzibah Lucy has been a stock combo of mine for a while.

Hepzibah is infectious. She smiles and me and tickles me and says, "Enough of that bad humor of yours. It's time to laugh."

I know that the meaning is nice, but I find it to be kind of pretentious.

Nothing's wrong with it, I like it. It's weird, but therein lies its charms for me.
