Hiya,
What's your opinions on Phoebe Alice, or possibly Phoebe Alice June (June after my nan).

Also how popular is Phoebe?

Other middle name suggestions welcome.

Thank you

I think it's nice!

I think I would go for Phoebe Alicia if it were me.

justhayley · 22/01/2014 22:11

I like 'a' at the end names as well, think they work well with Phoebe & somewhat soften then name.
Have considered Olivia, Amelia, & Isabella. Not keen on Alicia but thank you.
Can't decide if Pheobe Alice Is a but hard sounding?

I like it and i really like each name individually. I think whether or not you use Alice as a middle name may be dependent on your surname as Alice doesn't soften Phoebe so I'd need to know the surname wasn't too hard too.

Phoebe was 28th in 2012, so quite popular...

Love it! Phoebe Alice is a beautiful name.

Thanks all - wow so far a name thread with all positive comments that's a first for me lol.
I like the names Individually and I think I think I like them together, although do think Phoebe works better with a 3 syllable middle name??? although guess by adding June it kind of gives her that?

Love phoebe rose - although def not with June, if this wasDD2 I'd probably go for Phoebe Autumn rose or Phoebe Willow Rose and leave te June out.

I don't have to use June - havnt mentioned it to anyone so wouldn't be disappointing my nan or anyone. But I am super close to my nan always have been, & I guess when they get to a certain age you never know how long they have left, this would be a special little present for her. I'd also rather use it while she's alive & knows rather than for a future DD that she doesn't necessarily know about.

I have a Phoebe Ann and Alice was on my list!

I prefer Phoebe Alice June, as it seems to flow better.

Phoebe Ann is lovely, wouldn't work with June so won't steal your name Smile

I should have said in my post before that Phoebe Alice June is gorgeous. I only commented on Phoebe Alice. I think it would be such a lovely thing to do to have your nan's name as part of your daughter's name.

I love Phoebe Alice June.

I have a Phoebe Lillian - Lillian is after my Nan so I'm a bit biased ;)

Chottie · 26/01/2014 06:46

Just a gorgeous name :) rolls off the tongue

justhayley · 26/01/2014 11:05

Grin thank you.
OH just informed me he can't stand the name Alice, even as a middle, although as he hasn't come up with a single suggestion I'm not fussed i'll make it grow on him Grin
