Is Phoebe overdone?

?

Yes it's overdone. It's been well in the top hundred since 1996. It's in a category where it's dull but inoffensive, like Sophie, Freya, Mia etc.

We have Phoebe Grace age 3 and have met a couple but none in our immediate network. I love it.

Not yet

Chloe or Zoe a bit less popular though

I only have come across one Phoebe and she’s 23. I think it’s a nice name.

Phoebe/Feebee sounds dated imo.

I love the name Phoebe. Was one of my top choices for my DD 35 years ago, so years before ‘Friends’. I would have had it for a second name, but it didn’t go well with the name I eventually chose, which I also still love. Phoebe Joy is a lovely choice.

I also know a Phoebe misspelt as 'Pheobe'. As a name nerd it upsets me every time I see it written down 😂 More so than 'feebee' as they were clearly trying to get it right and not intentionally misspelling it.

I just can't understand how no one has pointed out the error? 🤔I also checked the DarkGreener stats and there were 19 born last year alone so unfortunately it's not a rare occurance! 😮

19 girls named Pheobe last year alone...

In 11 years of teaching, I’ve taught 5 Phoebes I believe. In comparison to Emilys, you’re golden 😄

@Luredbyapomegranate , I know an awful lot of Chloes, but they are older.

No Phoebes in the school my children attend and I've only taught one in 6 yrs of teaching.

Hardly overdone?

Overdone would be Ava, Isla, Evie, Izzy, Sophie, Freya Mia,...

I love it. It was my great grandmother’s name, I would have called my daughter it but it was the height of Friends fame and I thought it would be everywhere. Called my cat it instead, her nickname is Fee or Fifi

Phoebe Joy is so so lovely, please use it!

Zombie thread!

Phoebe is lovely in sound, history and meaning.
It goes well with many second names and is not too common.

Phoebe Joy 10/10
Phoebe Margaret
Phoebe Eliza
Phoebe Susanna
Phoebe Grace

I don't know any.
Kids in 2 different schools 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was born in the 90s and know lots my age. I heard of a newborn one the other day and thought it was quite an odd choice as for me it’s with the Lauren, Amber, Ellie era for me.

I also don’t think it’s a nice name. Sounding or aesthetically. Sorry!

I also grew up in the 90’s/00’s but hardly know any Phoebe’s - I certainly wouldn’t categorize Phoebe with those sort of names mentioned by PP.
I love it OP and don’t think it’s overdone at all! It has a lovely meaning, history and is a bit quirky, not just another Ava, Isla, Mia etc
