Thoughts on Phoebe? It’s most likely our girls name choice but want opinions as I’m not 100% sold

Thanks good to see all the positives! I’m not sure what’s holding me back, it might just be that we used my name I’ve always thought I’d call a little girl for DD1! We’ve had to find a name this time 😂

Great name (not biased at all Grin) smallest DD has the name and we only know of 1 other so not a hugely popular name in our area. Spelling it can be tricky but family and friends have got it now she’s 3.

Love it!

Everyone seems to like this name. I just hear feeble every time I hear it. I really dislike it!

Love it! It was on our list but I know of 2 others so didn’t want to go for it. One of the little girls I know gets Bee as a nickname and it really suits her.

Always loved it, only thing I can think of is the friends association can I ask what's hiding you back?

Lovely name!

itswonkylampshade · 08/06/2020 22:53

Love it but prepare for people repeatedly misspelling it “Pheobe”! Drives me mad!

Batqueen · 08/06/2020 22:52

Lovely

Dhalandchips · 08/06/2020 22:51

I love it, but then I have one, so I'm biased. The spellings have been fun over the years, but we just laugh it off and move on. Beautiful name for a beautiful girl 😁

Love it, it’s my cats name or it would be on mine 😀

Great name, might be a bit biased though.

Ours is one of only 2 at her school. She's 11 now and a bubbly ray of sunshine, so it still really suits her. Only really gets shortened to Phoebs so no awful nicknames to contend with.

Beautiful name. Only issue is people will often have trouble spelling it however in my experience people spell even the most straightforward of names wrong so it doesn't really matter!
