Short sharp middle name for phoebe

43 replies

MishMooshAndMogwai · 13/03/2015 13:58

Think we've got our final choices for dc4!

For our girl we've settled on phoebe- it'll have a long double barrelled surname so wanting a short and sweet middle name.

Dp likes may, Jane and Anne

I like Kate

Want to stay clear of Rose.

I don't like DP suggestions as that's what EVERY girl at school had as their Middle name bar those with Louise and Elizabeth.

Any ideas?

What about Claire? Or Anne?

My Phoebe is Phoebe Rose but I played with...

Phoebe Grace
Phoebe Anne
Phoebe Cate
Phoebe Jane

Or something with two syllables:
Phoebe Iris
Phoebe Anna

Phoebe is an awesome name though!

I know someone who's recently had a Phoebe Joy.

Phoebe Isla
(2 syllables but sounds nice)

IreneA78 · 13/03/2015 14:19

Kate.

Phoebe is such a fluffy name, Kate cuts right through all that.

Don't go for Phoebe Grace unless you're happy to be viewed as a diehard Eddie Stobart fan.

Rae (love this, would have been my first choice for a girl if we'd had one)

NakedFamilyFightClub · 13/03/2015 14:28

Phoebe Alice?
Phoebe Emma?

kavv0809 · 13/03/2015 14:31

Like Phoebe Kate, I'm sure there was an actress called Phoebe Cates though so maybe that's why it sounds like it goes together.

florascotia · 13/03/2015 14:35

Could two short syllables possibly work, as well? If so here's a mix:
Maud(e), Elsa, Joan, Ada, Anna/Hannah, Alice/Alys, Stella, Dora, Dorrit, Lina, Helen/Ellen, Lyra, Laura, Lorna, Ailsa, Nella, Jean, Iris, Nina, Nesta, Martha, Sara/Sarah/Zara, Maris, Jennet, Ruth, Vida ...

Anne or May popped into my mind.
