Jehosheba (daughter of Jehoram) and Elisheba (original form of Elizabeth) are feminine Biblical names with Sheba in them. It seems simple on its own as a male name.

I'm sorry, but this is a total cat name. I can't even picture this on a human.

Doesn't sound masculine at all. Sounds more like the name of a woman - specifically, an African-American woman.
I named our half Bengal cat Sheba after Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" as our little precious is highly strung and queenie. Ps, she also likes to put on a window show for the Bin-Men when they come to collect the rubbish on Thursdays... And they love it!
I've always thought of this as a feminine name, partly due to the fact that my grandmother has a female cat called Sheba. While I do think it makes a good name for a cat, it seems a bit odd and "out there" on humans. Bananarama's description of a belly dancer seems scarily fitting.
