It's one of my colleague's names, and I think it's very pretty.

Phoebe as it is my brand new great-niece's name.

Edie was going to be my girl name and I still love it 15yrs later, but I've got a rugby-playing 6' boy who it really doesn't suit. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I genuinely think it's a beautiful name. Never thought of "Fay" as a nn - that's lovely. I was thinking "Effie" or "Emmie" - only a pipe dream for me though.

Show quote history

I think it was fairly common in her generation. It's a lovely name and makes a change from all the ditsy girls names which have been fashionable eg Daisy, Maisie, Lottie, Dottie, Poppy, Minnie etc.

I had a great aunt with that name!
We called her Fay.
