That's it really! I think Claudia is a bit more feisty but most people prefer Phoebe. I can't decide. DD 6 days old...

Claudia, I love!!!!! I like Phoebe too but it's the name of the dog we plan on rescuing and a not nice girl.

Claudia, but phoebe is sweet too.

Claudia

bingolittle · 23/03/2017 18:52

Both lovely.

Or you could split the difference and call her Chloe?!

Phoebe

Claudia. Loads of Phoebes. Claudia is great.

Claudia

Another Claudia fan here but I know people are often against it because of the meaning. I don't think that matters but some obviously do!

Phoebe is ok but I'm not that keen.

Claudia.

ClaudiaWankleman · 23/03/2017 19:06

Claudia.

Thatextrainch · 23/03/2017 19:07

Both were on my list but Claudia has the edge

Sleepingbunnies · 23/03/2017 19:07

Claudia

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 23/03/2017 19:09

Definitely Claudia.

NotYoda · 23/03/2017 19:21

Claudia

Phoebe sounds like Feeby. Somehow less nice

NotYoda · 23/03/2017 19:27

Claudine is noce too

NotYoda · 23/03/2017 19:27

*nice

Claudia

Chocolateteabag · 23/03/2017 19:34

Claudia!

Spadequeen · 23/03/2017 19:35

Phoebe!

CaipirinhasAllRound · 23/03/2017 19:44

Good choice!
DS would have been Phoebe if a girl and baby #2 is due in June and will be Claudia if a girl!
For some reason we're not considering Phoebe this time
I love the idea of a toddler girl being called Claude as a nn

BaymaxismyHero · 23/03/2017 19:45

Phoebe!

babynugget · 23/03/2017 19:48

I like them both but Claudia makes me think of the little girl in Party of Five and she was annoying. Also nicknamed Claude. Still a beautiful name though and not many people will remember obscure TV programmes from the 90's (?).

buttercup54321 · 23/03/2017 19:53

Much prefer Chloe.

indigo13 · 23/03/2017 19:55

Another vote for Claudia, it sounds strong yet still cute for a little girl

SuperBeagle · 23/03/2017 19:56

Phoebe.

I don't like Claudia at all. One of my best friends is Claudia and even she hasn't managed to make me like it. We call her Claude and Claudes for short too, which aren't very nice.
