Phoebe

[schafernaker]

Thoughts on Phoebe? It’s most likely our girls name choice but want opinions as I’m not 100% sold

Lovely name.

I know 3, 2 high school 1 nursery. (Oh and a cat.0 I always liked the name.

This is very niche but all I can here is Ade Edmundson shouting "Pheeeb! One boiled egg!"

Hear obviously. Long day.

@schafernaker love. Would use if I hadn’t called my cat it

A lovely name. I only know one who is 3. My first thought was phoebe from friends though!

Going against the grain, I really don't like it.

I only know one in real life and I am not a fan.

Makes me think of feeble too. Don’t like it.

Great name!

I don't like the spelling or sound at all, sorry.

I don’t go mad on it, but the plus side is it’s not that popular I only know one x

I love it

I have a Phoebe - she's 19 now. I'm obviously biased! The only real issue is that so few people can spell it correctly- over the years we've had Pheobe (most common error) as well as Feeby, Feebie, Phobie....the list is endless!

The only other annoyance is that everyone assumes she's named after Phoebe from Friends.

I absolutely love it- one of my all time favourites

I can definitely imagine 19 years ago people would associate the name more strongly with friends as it would have been the biggest show on TV and phoebe was rarely ever used as a name then. It's more mainstream now. A bit like "Jude". 19 years ago you might assume Jude Law fan but not now.

What's DD1s name if you don't mind me asking @schafernaker

@whatsyourflava Dd1 is Niamh so spelling isn’t something that concerns us 🤣 nothing can get massacred as badly as Niamh does sometimes.

Nice to see on the whole it’s a positive response 😊

One of my least favourite names (sorry). Just sounds to me like feeble and because of that, seems such a weak name.

Yep it is a MN fav but I really can't warm to 2 syllables that are horrible sounding. I agree with this also.

You can do better !

Love it, but I know sooooo many!! At least 10 at DC school of 120 pupils!!

I think its a marmite name

I hear people say they love it but its like nails on a chalk board to me, its not that I have bad associations with the name or anything it simply just the sound, a clash of 2 very harsh syllible 'FEE'-'BEE' just sounds jarring to me

Strong, classic name

Love it!!

Lovely name.

It's the name with gave our Rough Collie puppy and we all love it!

For the record, she's beautiful, graceful, loyal, fun and extremely crafty.
