Phoebe or Órla

[schafernaker]

As the title says. We are team yellow and have a boys name picked out (Thomas) but can’t decide between Phoebe and Órla. Older sister is Niamh 😊

Phoebe is nicer.

Also, in the computer age, tbh I think it's a hassle to have names with any kind of accent on them.

They're both nice, but if you throw a stone around here you would hit at least two Orlas. It's super common around this area. I personally prefer Phoebe! Although we discounted it from our shortlist as it's still very common name in the ONS statistics and we had another, less frequently used, name we liked better.

Depends where you live and whether the local accent will ruin Órla or not. I wouldn’t be happy with it being pronounced Awla all the time so would go with phoebe if that was likely.
