Girls name ideas

[TracieT]

I’m expecting a second daughter this summer and have found it so much harder this time around to find names that feel right. Our first is Phoebe Francesca so obviously would like to find a name to compliment that.
Thea is a contender though I am
not 100% and am not sure what to have as a second name but feel like a long name would work best as our surname is short.
Ideas most welcome please…

I like your daughter's name :)

Maybe a name that is not dated- but not sure what.

I like my first name but it is dated to the point of unusual (no name keyrings for me) middle and confirmation name more classic/traditional.

Maybe Louise Jacinta?

I love Thea, but when combined with your dd1's name, my first thought was if they were my dds, they'd end up as Phoebe and The-be.

These are my top 'long' names that I think fit with Phoebe.

Adelaide
Claudia
Dolores
Evangeline
Imdela
Minerva
Rowena

Thea Adelaide?

Juliette
Harriet
Dorothea (nn Thea)
Alexandra
Elouise
Jemima

Phoebe and

freya
imogen

eloise
chloe
florence

leah
rhea
zara
nina
nora
helena
meredith
juliet

Calypso

Penelope June

I have a business where I personalize baby things so I see sooo many nice (and not so nice) names. The nicest one that has stuck out to me recently is Blake for a girl, I love it! There’s a real trend just now of using old lady names again, I think it’s really cute. Have done lots of Mabels, Margots, Stellas and Bettys/Betsys. Sienna is a nice one, that might go quite well? It depends how popular/unpopular you’d like it to be?

I know a Phoebe and Alexandra
Marina
Georgia
Ruth
Olympia
Clara
Gudrun
Maxine
Leonora
Isolde
Edith
Christina

Phoebe and Zoe. May have a familial bias 😉

Annabelle
Madeleine (I knew twins Phoebe & Madeleine)
Abigail
Molly
Holly
Gabrielle
Jemima
Sadie
Sophie / Sophia

Phoebe Francesca is a wonderful name!

Not a fan of Thea, sorry.

Some suggestions:

Rhiannon Amelia
Lucille Catriona
Juliet Victoria
Nicolette Alexandra
Genevieve Bridget

Dorothea
Madeleine
Evangeline
Angelica
Georgina

Lydia
Matilda
Emily
Violet
Jasmine
Sophia
Isla
Alexis

Freya or summer

Angelica

Not Thea

I like Thea. I don't think sibling names have to 'go' but I might worry about the ph and th sounds. For a child who might already struggle with th, Thea might become 'fee-a' when given the added confusion of 'fee-bee'.

Thea Evangeline
Thea Antonia
Thea Madeline

Or, Phoebe and:
Abigail, Annabelle, Bethany, Beatrice, Charlotte, Cassandra, Darcey, Eleanor, Evelyn, Felicity, Freya, Georgina, Grace, Hermione, Harriet, Isabelle, Imogen, Jessica, Joanna, Katherine, Lydia, Lorelei, Miranda, Matilda, Natalie, Natasha, Olivia, Rhiannon, Rebecca, Summer, Scarlett, Tamara, Tegan, Victoria, Verity, Willow, Zoe, Zara

I really like PPs suggestions of Abigail, Isobel, Annabel, Harriet and Georgina. They all go well with Phoebe.

Not keen on Thea personally, but nothing wrong with it.

ella or laila are stunning girls names really

I think I'd avoid Th and Fl starting sounds with Phoebe or they to mush together a bit.
Phoebe and Matilda
Pheobe and Tabitha
Phoebe and Kitty
Phoebe and Eliza
Phoebe and Charlotte
Phoebe and Alice
Phoebe and Madeline
Phoebe and Josephine
Phoebe and Harriet
Phoebe and Beatrice
Phoebe and Eleanor
Phoebe and Nancy
Phoebe and Claudia

Thanks all, some good suggestions to consider. DH agrees that maybe Thea isn't right. We do like Alexandra and he likes Michaela.
Am I silly for getting hung up on initials also? Our surname begins with T - I like Eloise and Elodie but it would make initials ET so that's put me off a little.

If you go with Thea you have alot of a very similar sound with Phoebe and Francesc too.

I always think Phoebe and Mabel sound nice together

I like Eloise and Elodie but it would make initials ET so that's put me off a little.

i know a couple of people with ET initials, it's never been an issue as far as I'm aware. I wouldn't not choose an E name because of a T surname.
