Middle names for Phoebe?

Hi everyone!

Our first daughter is due in March and we are pretty set on Phoebe Grin Goes well with our DS name, just love it basically!

The two middle names we are thinking of are -

Phoebe Tess (My nan's name who is unfortunately not with us now)

Phoebe Sinead (Irish side to my family, family middle name including mine).

I'm not sure if they actually go with the first name and if there is something I'm maybe missing that fresh eyes/ears will pick up on?

Any other suggestions are welcome too, thanks!

Phoebe Tessa sounds better then Pheobe Tess.

Phoebe Sinead sounds nice. Or even Phoebe Tessa Sinead sounds lovely.

Thank you Smile

I was thinking about Tessa, such a pretty name.

I would love to have both but I think DPs surname is quite unusual and a lil bit 'fussy'. Think it sounds like we are trying to make her royalty when its all together! Grin

I think it's lovely that you want to remember both relatives, I don't think two middle names is a problem in this case.

Phoebe Teresa? Sounds almost melodic!

Phoebe is a great name - I know a seven year old Phoebe and you couldn't meet a nicer girl!

Lovely, thank you for all the feedback and new ideas! Smile

I think it may be a case of waiting to see which one she 'suits' more. Atleast I have the first name sorted!

Merry Christmas too!

Tess definitely, gorgeous name and lovely reason behind it. Middle name slot to me is to use names important to you not just 'filler' names.

My Phoebe is Phoebe Elisabeth :)

George Formby - mine too! (With a z though)

UniMummy · 23/12/2010 21:02

Phoebe Elisabeth is beautiful! Really feminine but also strong.

Thank you! Oh good taste Bumps! She has a second middle name also which was my Grandmother's name. I love the name Tess but with our surname it would sound like a major supermarket chain Hmm
