I already have a son Elliott and we have a potential boys name but unsure for a girl (due in 2 weeks!). I love both for different reasons so your opinions would be helpful!:

Phoebe Hope (worried a bit common) or.....
Colette Hope (worried a bit similar sounding to Elliott?)

Thanks :-)

Phoebe!

I would use Hope as the first name too.

I will be awkward and say Hope as a first name too. My favourite if we ever have another girl.

thanks for the quick responses :-) never thought of Colette as at all 'porny' made me laugh!

Definitely Phoebe . I know a Collete and she is abit socially awkward.

very nice names!

I love Hope and so would have that as the first name. But of your choice Phoebe. I know a grown up woman called Colette and have always thought that, though it is a beautiful name, it is just a little porny and thus makes it harder for her to get taken seriously at work.

Colette is very similar sound to Elliott, I wouldn't.

Phoebe is lovely :)
