I know 1...about 18 months. Childs behavior is awful but love the name

MrsJoyOdell · 30/08/2017 12:30

One, she's 7.

Sophronia · 30/08/2017 13:11

One in her late 20s. It's one of my least favourite names, I just don't like the sound.

Bubblesoup · 30/08/2017 13:17

None and it's gorgeous!

Glumglowworm · 30/08/2017 15:49

3, aged 16, 12 and 10

I love the name

Just my bunny! Grin

1 - about 3 years old

auntym · 30/08/2017 19:09

One, aged 11. Lovely name.

elQuintoConyo · 30/08/2017 19:10

One aged 42. No nickname at school.

rainbowterrier · 30/08/2017 19:32

Three under three. No teens or adults. Not keen & hate the shortening 'Feebs'.

Chocolatecake12 · 30/08/2017 21:14

I know 3
One teen and 2 10 yr olds

Decaffstilltastesweird · 30/08/2017 21:17

Two. One adult, one baby.

Tilapia · 30/08/2017 21:19

I don't know any. For me, it will always make me think of Phoebe in Friends!

Bisquitine · 30/08/2017 21:19

One. Friend's daughter about 15, nickname Pheebs. I think Phoebe is a lovely name.

toomuchhappyland · 30/08/2017 21:20

I have one. I still love the name but might have thought twice if I'd realised how many people are unable to spell it. If you use it, prepare yourself for all the "Pheobe" incidents you have coming your way...and once it was "Feebie"!

ProseccoPoppy · 30/08/2017 21:26

2 - aged 29 and 3. The 29 year old no longer goes to Starbucks after a few too many cups with "Fibby" "Feebee" or (twice) "Peewee" written on them.

I like the people but really don't like the name. And "Feebs" is an awful shortening and seems to happen whether the Phoebe in question is ok with it or not.

imnottoofussed · 30/08/2017 21:54

I know one phoebe age 16 and also phoebe from friends. No particular thoughts on whether I like or dislike the name.

ppleasebob · 30/08/2017 22:33

One - my 3 year old daughter! I wasn't that keen on it at first (husband chose the name) but it really suits her. I think it's such a pretty name now.

She does get Pheebs, but we call her Bee or Beebee.

DovahBee11 · 30/08/2017 23:38

One, dd2 who is 2. She's never called Phoebe though, we call her Bee. Have done since she was about a month old as it suited her more

tiddleywinks27 · 31/08/2017 15:31

I know 1...she's beautiful. One of my favorite names!

Leo10 · 01/09/2017 11:10

Only 1 in the whole school and she's mine Smile
Never known/met another.

mummytwoh · 03/09/2017 10:40

2: one is my daughter - she is 3 and another in my son's class who is 5.

I obviously love the name and it gets a lot of compliments
