I like it. I'm not a huge fan of the "sheb" syllable, but it's nice. However, I think you'd be having a lot of conversations like this:

---

"What's her name?"
"Elisheba"
"Oh! Eli... Elis... what?"
"Elisheba"
"Oh. That's different"

---

Then they'd call her "kiddo" for the rest of the conversation because they can't wrap their head around the fact that it's not Elisabeth, and they can't remember what it actually was.

I think a lot of the same nicknames that Elisabeth has would work. Libby, Lizzie, Lissy, Ella, Ellie, etc.

I love it, but then I also like Bathsheba. I tend to like somewhat rare names and I think a person can fall back on Lisha, Ellie, etc if they don't like it.

I think it's charming, also. Ellie and Sheba work as nicknames.

Love it, so beautiful. Thought about using it, but I have a sister in law named Alisha, so it's a bit too similar.

I like the way it looks and sounds but the fact that a nickname could be Elisha (male) or Sheba (gross) makes me not be interested in its realistic use.
