Phoebe, I feel like Phoebe Violet would make a gorgeous combination actually!

Moonshine160 · 21/12/2019 20:27

Phoebe.

Lulu1919 · 21/12/2019 20:27

I like both but would go for Violet because Phoebe (and other similar sounding names like Evie) is a bit too popular around here.

Another vote for phoebe violet.

coconutty101 · 21/12/2019 20:30

Phoebe...

Altho violet was always my name if I had a girl when I had my boy a year ago!. Changed my mind now, I like isobel, (have an Isaac)

I agree with using both it sounds lovely. I have a Violet who's 16 months old. Beautiful name, it's becoming quite popular again.

steakandmantoo · 21/12/2019 21:05

Violet :)

PlantPotting · 21/12/2019 21:40

I love violet x

PlantPotting · 21/12/2019 21:40

Two lovely names you have picked out 👌

NC4this123 · 21/12/2019 21:42

Violet 😁

lottiegarbanzo · 21/12/2019 21:46

Phoebe. It's simple yet beautiful.

Violet is ok but a bit 'try hard' on the granny chic front, to my ear. It aso makes me think of actual Edwardian-born women called Vi, (with her mates Flo and Queenie). Vi is not a sweet or beautiful name.

Modernhistorybuff · 21/12/2019 22:56

Violet.
Phoebe always reminds me of feeble.

MrsBertBibby · 21/12/2019 23:08

Phoebe. Not at all keen on Violet.

TatianaLarina · 21/12/2019 23:09

Love both. I’d probably go for Phoebe Violet.
