That's it really! I think Claudia is a bit more feisty but most people prefer Phoebe. I can't decide. DD 6 days old...

Claudia, I love!!!!! I like Phoebe too but it's the name of the dog we plan on rescuing and a not nice girl.

Both lovely.

Or you could split the difference and call her Chloe?!

Another Claudia fan here but I know people are often against it because of the meaning. I don't think that matters but some obviously do!

Phoebe is ok but I'm not that keen.

Good choice!
DS would have been Phoebe if a girl and baby #2 is due in June and will be Claudia if a girl!
For some reason we're not considering Phoebe this time
I love the idea of a toddler girl being called Claude as a nn

I like them both but Claudia makes me think of the little girl in Party of Five and she was annoying. Also nicknamed Claude. Still a beautiful name though and not many people will remember obscure TV programmes from the 90's (?).

Another vote for Claudia, it sounds strong yet still cute for a little girl

Phoebe.

I don't like Claudia at all. One of my best friends is Claudia and even she hasn't managed to make me like it. We call her Claude and Claudes for short too, which aren't very nice.
