Phoebe as a girls' name?

What do people think? DD2 was due yesterday-and we are still undecided. Her big sister is an Ella. Second name will be Alice.

I'm not keen, but I'm probably in the minority. I know twins called Phoebe and Ella.

Oysterbabe · 13/07/2017 21:59

I love it. I wanted to put it on our list for this time but DH was quite meh about it.

OlennasWimple · 13/07/2017 22:01

I like it very much, and it "goes" with Ella. I'm not sure it works with Alice, though, as the names sort of run together

(Bit intrigued why you put "as a girls name" in the title though - I don't know any male Phoebes!)

It's lovely!

Flofferton · 13/07/2017 22:02

I love it Grin
It's my DD2s name

RiverTam · 13/07/2017 22:04

As opposed to a boys' name??Grin

It's - all right. Inoffensive. Passable.

Sorry, that's as excited as I can get about it!

My cat is called Phoebe.

My 10 week old is called Phoebe. My husband picked it and I love it because I'm a teacher and haven't taught any Phoebe's Grin

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/07/2017 22:27

Well I've never met any boys named Phoebe. Perhaps I need to get out moreGrin
Nice name

MaMisled · 13/07/2017 22:41

One of my favourite names. I too, know sisters called Phoebe and Ella.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/07/2017 22:48

I like Alice Phoebe.

whattheheckinheck · 13/07/2017 22:56

I like it.

I know two born this year. They both have Reese as a middle name though. Alice is much nicer.

bumblingmum · 13/07/2017 23:15

I have a Phoebe so great name of course. Quite popular now

DramaAlpaca · 13/07/2017 23:16

Phoebe Alice - yes, very nice.

Jooni · 14/07/2017 01:01

I like it

NikiBabe · 14/07/2017 01:23

Love it.

Rainbowqueeen · 14/07/2017 01:25

Love it. You do have to be happy with Pheebs as a nickname too IMO.

Out2pasture · 14/07/2017 01:27

Phoebe is a girls name and a lovely one st that.
Has anyone ever heard it used for a boy?

LockedOutOfMN · 14/07/2017 01:36

Phoebe is a lovely name choice!

17caterpillars1mouse · 14/07/2017 08:05

I love Phoebe

SarahJonesS · 14/07/2017 08:07

Phoebe is a beautiful name

BendydickCuminsnatch · 14/07/2017 08:09

Whatthe that's weird! Two Phoebe Reeses!!

I quite like Phoebe. What I do NOT like is Pheobe or Phebe or Feebee or Febe Shock

Now I have looked at the word for a long time though it looks like a crazy name! Phoebe.

Exercisejunkieforlife · 14/07/2017 08:24

I love it but I have a DD with that name. She gets called FiFi as a Nic name.

There aren't any other phoebes in her school, I also liked Evie but so glad I didn't use it as there are 5 in her school.

Phoebe Alice is lovely we have a Phoebe Ann.
