HelpRe: Bathsheba
in reply to a message by queenv
Bathsheba reminds me of the Richard Thompson song, Bathsheba Smiles.
I appreciate this name for its unusualness and Biblical roots, but it is an awful lot of a name, and as you pointed out, there aren't many good nickname options.
I have to agree with you on Sheba. It is probably the most usable nickname, and to me Sheba reminds me of a Siberian husky dog.
I find Bathsheba most fitting as a middle name, to balance out a shorter first name, like Clair Bathsheba, Anne Bathsheba, and Mary Bathsheba. It almost needs to be paired with something very traditional to give it some familiarity.
