Bathsheba

I love the length of this name, written and pronounced. The meaning makes me think that her parents must've love her so much.

Weird, especially the "bath" part.

I love it! It is so beautiful and one of my favorite ever Hebrew names! I love the history even though it makes me hate King David because it makes him out to technically be a rapist, which sucks. And all the variants of Bathsheba are gorgeous too. Sheba is a good nickname.

I think this is a quite lovely name. I am using this name for my dramatic novel, the bearer is the deuteragonist. I must say, and I don’t mean to be rude, the negative comments about this name are insensitive. Yes, it’s not common, but it’s very unique. That’s what I like about it. I’d rather have a unique name than a name you hear all the time. It’s beautiful. Bathsheba was the mother of the wise King Solomon. I consider that an interesting fact. I am reading the Old Testament and finding out more about the history, and I so enjoy this experience.

Did any of you actually read the "Meaning and History" section on this page? This name is totally inappropriate!

Great name of a person who existed... not a myth. Exotic and beautiful.

I have always fancied this name. I keep coming across it and am drawn to the beauty of it. It is very exotic and makes me think of a queen.

It reminds me of grooming a cat, like saying 'have a bath, Sheba!'

It's not THAT extremely horrendous at all- "Sheba" is a nice nickname to have. :)

In Greenland is also the form Batseba currently in use by at least one person. It would also be the Danish pronunciation of the name.

I have a great-great-great-grandmother called this and have always thought it was a wonderful name, but our family have always pronounced it BATHsheba (Bath with a short a, like bat). The French Bethsabée is also very nice!

Choosing this name is a sure sign that you are very religious and have no taste whatsoever. This name certainly doesn't sound any good in any Western languages.

I do not agree with the first quote. I think that Bathsheba is very exotic. I don't like this name because it is religious, I like it for it's uniqueness and sound. I also think that the French version sounds good.
