Think I am down to two names-

Jessica Shailes or Phoebe Shailes?

Jessica Belle Shailes
Phoebe Willow Shailes

Jessica is my long standing fave name from childhood tho I like others equally now. she would get nn Jess/Jesse/Jesse Belle and when she is older maybe Jezebel from me (plz dont slate me too much for that, I just like the sounds!)

Phoebe i really Love the nn Bea! And probably Pheebs too. Have liked Willow for ages. Phoebe was inspired by Friends as me and OH are both very happy/light hearted people.

So which do you like?

Jessica Belle or Phoebe Willow?

(her future brother will probs be Henry)
thanks xxx

Phoebe definitely

Jessica is a perfectly good name but it's a bit harsh sounding, jmo. SSssss followed by Kuh.

But it's a strong name, and that is good imo. It's just a strong name i don't like iyswim.
