Which middle name works best for Phoebe?

Hiya,
Due in 4 1/2 weeks - although expecting to be earlier, Havnt decided 100% on Phoebe as a first name but it's one of our front runners.

Anyway out of the below middle names which do you think works best.....

Daisy
Willow
Lily
Emily

June will follow one of these names as a 2nd middle name after my nan.

Happy for other suggestions, ideally I was looking for a pretty feminine name that didn't end in an ie y sound as I don't think it flows toooo well with Phoebe but all the names I like seem to end this way Confused

I love Phoebe Rose but not Phoebe Rose June
Also love Autumn as a middle name but think Phoebe Autumn June doesn't make much sense,
If I wasn't using June would probably use Phoebe Autumn Rose but it's important to me to use my Nan's name - why couldn't she have been Ross lol

Help please Grin

I think they're all too long...Willow works about the best though...Phoebe Willow June sounds nice.

MrsWinnibago · 23/06/2014 09:50

No it's not that they're too long it's that they end with an "e" Phoebe Daisy sounds awkward as do the other "e" names. willow works best.

What about just Phoebe June? It goes really well I think, better than the others.

MrsWinnibago · 23/06/2014 09:54

Alf I thought that too.

Legionofboom · 23/06/2014 09:55

I agree that Phoebe June works really well.

Only Willow really works from your list but I'm not sure about Phoebe Willow June.

Casmama · 23/06/2014 09:57

I would go with Phoebe June as well. The -y sound is a bit much with Phoebe and I think it is prettier for the simplicity.

PeterParkerSays · 23/06/2014 09:59

Of those, I'd go with Willow, but I think something with a vowel start, such as Esther, probably works better between the two.

Rose isn't long enough.

Phoebe Grace June
Phoebe Emma June
Phoebe Louise June
Phoebe Martha June
Phoebe Sasha June
Phoebe Georgia June
Phoebe Olivia June
Phoebe Ava June
Phoebe Tara June
Phoebe Megan June
Phoebe Scarlet June
Phoebe Lydia June

Now you know the names of all the girls I know (who's names don't end in 'y'!)

MarianneBrandon · 23/06/2014 18:56

From your list I like Willow best

Cora
Cara
Lara
Isla
Laura

KatieKaye · 23/06/2014 19:03

I think Phoebe June is lovely.

Pimpf · 23/06/2014 19:05

Do you need another middle name?

Alita7 · 23/06/2014 19:11

Phoebe Willow, I don't like the two ee sounds together with the other options!

Doilooklikeatourist · 23/06/2014 19:14

Willow is the only one that works
Phoebe June is lovely though

Myfanwyprice · 23/06/2014 19:15

Phoebe Alice june

BrunoBrookesDinedAlone · 23/06/2014 19:16

No to two ee sounds, so all no good except Willow, but would agree that Phoebe June is best of all.

Viviennemary · 23/06/2014 19:16

I think two names are enough. I prefer Phoebe Rose as I think that goes quite well.

Phoebe Willow June is gorgeous, didn't read any replies as I though PWJ was perfect!!

Don't like 2 names with the same sound eg Phoebe Daisy or Lucy Elsie (random name from another thread!)

LongDivision · 26/06/2014 14:20

How about: Phoebe Lotus June.

LongDivision · 26/06/2014 14:23

oh crap, I just noticed there is another thread about Lotus - must've absorbed it unconsciously.
