Bit of a different question than 'which name do you prefer/think'..

When I was a bit younger I would probably answer Jessica, but now I would say Phoebe i think.. Its tough tho! x x

I would rather be Jessica. Better for shortening.

Nancy66 · 14/11/2010 16:55

Phoebe - Jessica is the Jane of this generation.

pacinofan · 14/11/2010 16:07

Phoebe, timeless and classic.

Mumwithadragontattoo · 14/11/2010 15:30

Phoebe is much nicer. Prefer it written down too.

HelenaRose · 14/11/2010 11:03

Phoebe is a beautiful name.

perpetuallypregnant · 14/11/2010 00:35

Jessica - I have one. She gets Jess/ie.

Really dislike Phoebe for no rational reason.

LoopyLoops · 14/11/2010 00:22

Sorry, didn't really explain. Too many soft sounds and vowels, nothing concrete to it. Very much like the female equivalent of Ian. Yuck.

LoopyLoops · 14/11/2010 00:21

Jessica, without a doubt. If I were called Phoebe I'd change it by depoll. Horrible name, sorry.

I don't like Jessica much but love the name Jess

Prematureexcelsisation · 13/11/2010 20:00

I'm a Jessica. I used to be unusual now I'm 10 a penny. It makes me sad

jeneroo · 13/11/2010 19:53

Phoebe - bever got why so many people like Jessica??

issy123 · 18/06/2010 19:53

Neither

Jessica

My niece is Phoebe...it's quite trendy atm. I just don't like the sound of it though - it's very nasal. And there's no nice nickname.

Sicker is yuck! She must've had a much older, big brother!
