It was my gran's name. I like it.

LawnFever · 23/12/2021 17:18

Yes I love it, what about Phoebe Rose?

NotAnotherPushyMum · 23/12/2021 17:18

Love Phoebe, would have used it for dd but Dh vetoed it ☹️ It needs a one syllable middle name I think - Rose, Jane, May etc

iklboodolphrednosedpaindear · 23/12/2021 17:22

My gran was Phoebe Helen.

SummaLuvin · 23/12/2021 17:39

not fussed on it, but it isn't awful. avoid middle names with the 'eee' sound, there are already enough in Phoebe.

The100thHoliday · 23/12/2021 17:40

I really like it.

LuckyMum3 · 23/12/2021 17:41

Love it. It's my dds middle name :)

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/12/2021 17:43

Love it. A few middle name suggestions

Phoebe Isobel
Phoebe Tallulah
Phoebe Imogen
Phoebe Hannah
Phoebe Margot
Phoebe Emmeline
Phoebe Beatrix
Phoebe Jasmine

DuchessOfSausage · 23/12/2021 17:46

Like it.

Middle name - not Rose, May or Grace as they are common middle names. How about Phoebe Rosalind?

Viviennemary · 23/12/2021 17:46

Not keen.

cansu · 23/12/2021 17:47

I chose it for one of mine. Love it obviously.

Purplemoon54 · 23/12/2021 17:52

I love it, currently pregnant and it’s top of our list!

NannyR · 23/12/2021 17:52

I love it, I'd go for Phoebe Anne or Phoebe Kate.

Faretheewellmyfairyfay · 23/12/2021 17:53

Yeah, not bad at all. If you like it, and it sounds good with your surname, go for it. Might have some minor spelling and pronunciation annoyances with this one, and many people will think of Phoebe from Friends which could be a good or bad thing, depending what you think of that show and character.

ChelBelle · 23/12/2021 17:54

Love it. My DD is Phoebe Ellen cx

Adventing · 23/12/2021 18:18

Love it

Phoebe Anne
Phoebe Alice
Phoebe Emma
Phoebe Olive
Phoebe Juliet
Phoebe Kate
Phoebe Charlotte

RuthW · 23/12/2021 18:22

Love it. Dd was very nearly called that.

LoveGrooveDanceParty · 23/12/2021 18:31

It’s really nice. And no it doesn’t need a one syllable middle name, that’s how so many girls end up with Rose, May or Grace. 😴

FAQs · 23/12/2021 18:32

It's lovely, I'm dyslexic and it's one of the names I can never spell correctly.

Roselilly36 · 23/12/2021 18:39

I absolutely love that name, great choice.

toastofthetown · 23/12/2021 18:41

It’s inoffensive but rather dull. I’d go for something longer in the middle as Phoebe Rose and Phoebe Grace et al sound just so uninspiring to me.

Phoebe Eliza
Phoebe Jessamine
Phoebe Lavender
Phoebe Linnea
Phoebe Mirabelle
Phoebe Rosalind
Phoebe Valentina

or Anne and Jane in previous decades
DukkaTheHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 23/12/2021 19:57

Phoebe Grace/Rose/May is just boring as every girl has those names and they’re overused.

Phoebe Kate is nice.
Phoebe Eliza
Phoebe Victoria
Phoebe Josephine
Phoebe Elizabeth

Whatsgoingon7 · 23/12/2021 19:59

I really like Phoebe Emmeline as suggested above - all the Es work so nicely.

Aquariusmumma · 23/12/2021 20:06

It's a sweet name, I probably wouldn't use myself but do like it. Do you like Jennifer or Penelope as they are a bit similar?

Phoebe Amelia
Phoebe Evelyn
Phoebe Evangeline
Phoebe Jemima
Phoebe Victoria
