[Opinions] Hebe
Yesterday I saw a woman called Hebe I assume after the plant. It’s not a plant I would choose to name a child after as I prefer Iris or Violet but I can see its appeal. WDYT of Hebe?Hebe Imogen
Hebe Idonea
Hebe Diane
Hebe Orinda
Hebe Caelia
Hebe Mireille
Hebe Amoret
Hebe Janina
Hebe Felicia
Hebe Elowen
Hebe Matilda
Hebe Oriana

I used to like it. Then I realized it was part of a horrible word I don't even want to type out. So it's not usable, in my opinion.Heebie-jeebies is an issue to.I'd say use Phoebe instead or Belphoebe or Chloe or Zoe.Elowen, Oriana, Amoret, Caelia are lovely.

I only know this name from a character in HMS Pinafore. Didn't know it was a plant. I actually kinda liked it.

I like it in theory, but it’s realistically not really usable imo. It’s very weird, and the heebie-jeebies connection is strong.

Hebe is adorable! I think of the goddess before “heebie jeebies.”I like Hebe Diane and Hebe Elowen.

it's awful ...It gives me the heebie-jeebies, because not only does it sound like a misspelled Phoebe, it also is easily mispronounced as heeb, which is an old, offensive term for a Jewish person.

My first thought is it's a goddess name--didn't realize it's also a plant. It's a nice name.Of your combos I like Hebe Mireille the best.
