I have looked through books and threads for opions on Phoebe and nothing! all I have come up with is that it's Greek and means "bright" when I've asked people about it everyone say's "lovely" but can only think of Phoebe Buffay from friends! my favouritre charracter acctually I love that shes nuts! I don't know ant Phoebe's is that because it's acctually horrid and I can't see it? I think it's beautiful!?

I have a Phoebe, it was one of the only girls name that DH and I could agree on. We liked the Greek mythology roots of the name, i think she'd the daughter of the gods of the earth and sky.

I know 4 little Phoebe's (aged between 4 and 10). The first time I met one it was a shock, but it has grown on me now.

I used to work with a Phoebe who was always called Beefy, which has really put me off a lovely name :(

I think Phoebe is cute. I always have trouble spelling it, but I think that's just me. Blush
