Apologies, only 22 weeks and here I am again. These two names keep moving back up to the top of our list, so I think we may have got our final two. Would really appreciate your feedback, as DH just keeps saying he is happy to go with what ever I choose.... Lovely of him to say so but doesn't really help with my indecisive mind :-) thanks everyone

Phoebe Iris for me, I would have used it but had boys!

I have a Phoebe (4) & I know one other locally (Bath) that was born about 3 months after my daughter. There isn't another Phoebe in my daughters school

Phoebe Lilian.

Not what you asked, but Phoebe Iris is two very strong names together. And two vowels next to each other , eee-eye, resulting in a gear change when you say them together.

I prefer Phoebe to LIlian but I prefer the combination of Phoebe and Lilian together.

My dd is a Lilian (with just one 'l' in the middle) and she often gets compliments on her pretty name. She is also Lily, but was born before the name surged in popularity. Might be more of an issue now.

I also really like Iris, but not Phoebe.

I prefer Phoebe Iris of the two... Love Iris as a first name though.

Know lots of Lily's under five, don't know any Phoebe's , though I've heard it on the playgrounds, and I've read it's getting popular! (But so what if you love it?!)

Phoebe Iris. two flowery names in a row will sound silly and wet

Lillian Iris sounds a bit odd to me. When said briskly it sounds like Lily and Iris.

Love Phoebe Iris though. The heavy consonant of the B breaks up the name and flows better imo.
