I take your point, Name, derogatory isn’t quite the right word I was after.

MercyBodle · 22/03/2019 08:08

I think Daisy works really well as Phoebe's sister - lovely name. Heidi feels dated (I know several adult Heidis), like it's the wrong generation to go with the modern Phoebe.

"Sweet" is not derogatory. Patronising, maybe, in some contexts, but not derogatory.

daisypond · 22/03/2019 08:04

malope but “sweet* is not something to want for a name, surely. It’s derogatory.

RayaJambalaya · 22/03/2019 08:02

Heidi

NameChange30 · 22/03/2019 07:54

I like Florence and it goes well with Phoebe
I think I'd pick Florence or Alice

ScreamingValenta · 22/03/2019 07:54

Daisy

Malope · 22/03/2019 07:52

Heidi is sweet. Do people really choose names based on what will 'go' with the sibling? Just let them have their own name! Grin

Heidi is great with phoebe. Not so keen on daisy personally, and I don't think it's sophisticated enough to go with Phoebe.

Heidi

OhTheRoses · 22/03/2019 07:30

Harriet goes.

thaegumathteth · 22/03/2019 07:28

Daisy because Heidi is too similar.

However, I always wanted 2 girls called Phoebe and Harriet

NameChange30 · 22/03/2019 07:22

Neither (sorry).
You need a name that doesn't end in the same "ee" sound.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 22/03/2019 07:16

Daisy

daisypond · 22/03/2019 07:15

Hm neither goes with Phoebe, which is a nice classic grown-up name. Heidi is terribly cutesy. Daisy is ok as a flower name but it’s a bit cutesy too. Daisy is best.

OhTheRoses · 22/03/2019 07:13

Do you know I thought of Ursula too but also thought it was a step too far if Daisy was in the frame.

Ridingthegravytrain · 22/03/2019 07:11

Crock I came on to say Ursula!
I prefer Heidi

Didiusfalco · 22/03/2019 07:11

Heidi.

Or a different name that doesn’t end with an ie sound.

OhTheRoses · 22/03/2019 07:11

Daisy is a different genre to Phoebe and Heidi but I'm not sure it goes.

Alexandra, Georgia/ina, Xara, Xanthe, Marina, Beatrice, Gudrun, Celia, Edith, etc, are the sorts of names that go with Phoebe.

Crockof · 22/03/2019 07:10

Phoebe sister is Ursula

Prefer Heidi

FogCutter · 22/03/2019 07:09

Heidi.

There's loads of little Daisys here, it's a very popular name!

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 22/03/2019 07:08

My vote for Heidi

They both go equally well with Phoebe but Daisy has been a bit overused in the past 15 years so Heidi is my choice
