Honest thoughts on Phoebe

Strong contender for DD, however, I’ve recently been having some reservations as although it gets a lot of love on name forums, I’ve had quite a few crinkled noses IRL when ‘road testing’.

  1. Will it forever have the ‘kooky’ Friends association attached to it?
  1. There are a few cruel nicknames I can think of which worry me slightly like Pee-bee, Fleabee, Feeble and Phoebe-jeebies.
  1. Does it travel well if she wanted to live or study abroad?

Any Phoebe mums out there that can reassure me?! I do love it but just having a wobble.
