Phoebe or Claudia

[ButterMelonCauliflower]

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...

I teach quite a few Claudias and think it's a lovely name but I would be prepared for it to be mispronounced at times. I would usually pronounce the first syllable like clawed but most of the Claudia's I come across as a teacher pronounce it like cloud in my (south east) accent. I really struggle sometimes to keep track of who is a Clawed-ee-ah and who is a Cloud-ee-ah. Phoebe is beautiful too and I only know one way to pronounce it.

Phoebe!!!! Was my number one girls name (but we had four boys!).

Definitely Claudia.

Oo definitely Claudia. Lots of Phoebe's about. I have a lovely friend called Claudia who I normally call Claudes but I quite like Claudie as a nickname for a baby Claudia.

Definitely Claudia! It's my little girl's name and she really suits it. Feisty but also cute, she gets called Claudie at nursery

I love Claudia!

Oo, very different vibe. Phoebe is sweet, Claudia is strong. I would go with Claudia. Great name!

No contest Claudia. The name Pheobe gets right on my last nerve

Phoebe is nice but Claudia has a bit more oomph.

Definitely Claudia.

Definitely Claudia! Biased as I have one She is five now and I love the name now as much as ever. I see it as a strong, beautiful, elegant name, which works for all ages, and is never going to be overused.

Both lovely, but I have a slight preference for Phoebe.

Both lovely

The only thing that would bother me is the pronunciation of Claudia, whichever you decide to use, some people will use the other one

Claudia

The naughtiest girl in my class was a Claudia so that puts me ivf the name (silly I know). On the other hand I know a young Phoebe and she if truly lovely.
So Phoebe all the way for me.

Ivf = off

Claudia! I wanted it for my dd2 but wasn't allowed

I'd go for Claudia, love the name but don't know any. Uncommon name which everyone can spell - win, win!

Phoebe

I'd go for Claudia. I like both names, but Claudia is not as popular or fashionable as what Phoebes becoming. Fashionable/popular names tend to end up being dated.

Claudia definitely. Feminine and very strong at the same time. I wanted it for DD.
