Imogen, Tabitha or Phoebe?

[kitsonkittykat]

Im having another girl!

Middle name is to be Rose. Dh has vetoed my favorite, Magda, yet again. Ive vetoed his first choice Barbara. We are down to Imogen, Tabitha or Phoebe. Any opinions, or other ideas?

Hee-bee is the pronunciation. It's a type of bush/plant but can be used as a name.

Just googled it. Infact Hebe was the Greek goddess of youth.

Love Tabitha, Phoebe is ok to me and not keen at all on Imogen.

I'd have to say Phoebe, i have one, like others imogen reminds me of the BB girl and Tabitha is a cat.

My other DD is Annalise - another name for you to add to the mix

After a lot of discussion, we decided on Merryn, middle name Barbara. I had to give way on the middle name, but just couldnt give her the same name as a lush product (Imogen Rose)! Thank you for telling me about the Lush thing!

I still am not keen on Barbara, but you barely hear or use their middle name anyway, and it has significance for dh.

Thank you all for helping!

Beautiful name, Merryn Barbara, I like it!

My 2 year old niece is Imogen Rose and it suits her down to the ground :)

1. Imogen Rose
2. Phoebe Rose
3. Tabitha Rose

Wow, the thread went from:

1. Phoebe
2. Tabitha

ADORE

Imogen

Ok

Merryn

Eeek

Merryn is absolutely gorgeous.

I think a name of significance as a middle name is a fine thing to grow up with.

She might get called Merry Babs for short

Probably only suitable for a 16th century serving wench though!

OOh love Merry Babs!!

I would go for either Merryn, Imogen or Phoebe. I think Tabitha is horrid too (sorry).

Merry Babs! How cool is that! The name has definately stuck. I was so stuck on Magda Rose, I felt a bit disappointed, but Merry is just perfect.

I love all 3 OP - sorry not much help

I really like Tabitha and Imogen. I'm not keen on Phoebe.

Phoebe is my favourite of the three but I like all of them. I know a five week old baby Imogen and a six month old Tabitha but no Phoebes.

How would you all pronounce Ianthe?

Imogen lovely but popular (depends if that bothers you) Pheobe or Tabitha are also lovely and more unusual but Tabitha goes with Rose better.

"How would you all pronounce Ianthe?"

eye-ANTH-ee

I have a Phoebe I also like:

India
Romilly
Nancy
Sadie
Thea
Polly
Cordelia
Thora
Eliza
Genevieve

I love Phoebe - so that would be my first choice.

Imogen

Oh love Phoebe and Imogen equally, sorry not much help!
