We are actually considering Melita for a middle name (pronounced Muh-lee-tah) which was my nans middle name and I like it very much

Not keen, it will always make me picture Phoebe from friends, but later generations may not have that association.

I love it. Hubby vetoed it 😢.

I have a Phoebe, although she’s grown up now! Middle name is Anne
Lovely name both for a little girl and the adult she will become

Oh I love Melita. It's a really interesting middle name and the family connection is lovely.

EgbertNoBac0n · 24/12/2021 08:10

My DH wouldn’t let me have this one either and I’m still cross at him! I love the Greek mythology connection, the ‘bright’ meaning and think it’s a sweet but strong name that suits all ages. Thumbs up from me.

EgbertNoBac0n · 24/12/2021 08:17

Just an afterthought, I’d be wary of middle names starting with vowels for Phoebe such as Phoebe Isabel. If your surname starts with a ‘G’ she becomes ‘PIG’ etc.

Phoebe Alice

NewtoHolland · 24/12/2021 08:43

I adore it and it has lovely meaning too :)

Middle name should be 3 syllables to work best with Phoebe I think.

Phoebe Eleanor
Phoebe Danielle

Beautiful name love it

endoflevelbaddy · 24/12/2021 09:04

I love it, biased as I have one. A Phoebe Grace at that 😱
She's in high school and we've only come across a couple more, so she likes that she's not one of many.

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 24/12/2021 10:12

You are amazing! I have been trying to remember a child's name for a couple of days!
Phoebe! Yessss! Thank you!

Beautiful name, not sure for a middle name though!

peaceinourtime · 25/12/2021 08:22

Love Phoebe
I would go for Phoebe Alice.

ratussbaguss · 26/12/2021 21:21

I know two Phoebe Roses already, FGS don't choose rose it's every little girls middle name at the moment, ditto May and Grace from a few years ago.

StormyCornishSeas · 26/12/2021 21:22

I love Phoebe. Middle name Grace?

Madcats · 26/12/2021 21:27

I have a teen "Phoebe", usually called "Phoebes".

Just to warn you that a surprisingly large number of people can't spell it properly.

Turtlesone · 28/12/2021 11:49

Love Phoebe! Love the meaning and its not overused, but still known.
