I have decided that I want Phoebe Rose but I don't think dp is soo keen he likes,
Abigail
Pippa (Phillippa)
Rosie (Rose)
but he doesn't know which middle names.

So what do you all think? I don't dislike the names he likes but I really like my choice

I like them all, but especially Philippa (not so keen on Pippa though) - distinguished and unusual.

I like Miranda, Abigail and Rosie - not keen on Philippa or Pippa (usual disclaimer applies).

I really like Phoebe Rose tho Phillippa Rose is also very nice.
I love the name Phillippa but my dad is Philip so it's a no-go for us ...

Mmn, not so keen on Philippa myself. I'm not keen on Phoebe either - sorry. I'm very well acquainted (iykwim) with an Abigail Elizabeth, which I've warmed to over the years. I absolutely lurve the name Rosie/Rose. Abigail Rose is nice

Phoebe Rose would be my choice.

I like Philippa but hate the shortened forms.
Not too keen on Phoebe.
Abigail and Miranda are nice as is Rosie/Rosie/Rosamund/Rosalind.
Rose Elizabeth sounds nice.
Or put Philippa as a second name so that no one shortens it.

I have a Philippa Rose, so no prizes for guessing what gets my vote!

Wouldn't go for Philippa/Pippa; they sound kind of aristocratic and dated.

Rose/Rosie is great - apparently Rose is most popular, followed by Rosa, then Rosemary.. seen at:
baby name Rose

Rosie and Pheobe are my favorites of those listed. But not sure you could use them together?
I like your choice of Pheobe Rose actually.
Classy and pretty too.

Pippa Rose

I know a Philippa whose sister is Alexandra. They're known as Phil and Alex and everyone thinks their parents secretly wanted sons!

I like Abigail best, means something like 'father's joy' which little girls usually are

I like most of the names on the list, but my favourite would be just Rose or Rosie.

i like pippa

Agree with pacita that just Rose is perfect.

or if not, Phoebe Rose is the best on the list. If that's what you want - have it! When your DP carries the baby then HE can have the casting vote, IMO!

Tell him not to mess with a hormonal woman. Phoebe it is!

Love Rose. Personally I would prefer something a bit more unusual such as Lola Rose or Amelia Rose or Olivia Rose. Best of your list is Phoebe Rose.
