I like them both but Billie would be my preference.

alotoftutus · 19/08/2022 19:11

Definitely Phoebe

Phoebe

Phoebe

TabithaTittlemouse · 19/08/2022 19:12

Phoebe by a far!

Pemba · 19/08/2022 19:13

Phoebe definitely. Billie is cute but 1.nicknamey 2.could be mistaken for a boy's name. Phoebe could also be cute but is definitely more of a full name.

Powaqa · 19/08/2022 19:14

Definately Billie. Love that name

HappyGoDucky · 19/08/2022 19:16

Phoebe but saying that all the Billie's I know (mostly mis twenties) are lovely

MrsWooster · 19/08/2022 19:16

Billie is always 1970s bonkbuster ‘Scruples’.
One of the many rite-of-passage novels that misled a generation of us about sex…

Mummytobe333 · 19/08/2022 19:19

Not a huge fan of either but out of both I would say Billie

PrimrosesandPears · 19/08/2022 19:20

Also Phoebe. Most of the Billies I know it’s a nickname so though I like it I see it as a shortening. Phoebe is both classic and cute.

blameitonthecaffeine · 19/08/2022 19:22

I like both. They're quite different so it's hard to choose. Maybe Billie.

dmask · 19/08/2022 19:22

Billie

Me too!!! It’s so plucky!

Fundays12 · 19/08/2022 19:24

Phoebe

Ilovedthe70s · 19/08/2022 19:36

Billie definitely,
I may be slightly biased as one of my boys is Bill

Redsharks · 19/08/2022 19:37

I love the name Billie so much😍😍😍

MercuryOnTheRise · 19/08/2022 20:14

Phoebe and don't particularly like it but like it more than Billie. Wilhelmina?

DramaAlpaca · 19/08/2022 20:15

I'm not mad on Phoebe but it's much better than Billie.

Sandysandwich · 19/08/2022 20:33

Definitely Billie
But most names are better than Phoebe

DelorisVC · 19/08/2022 20:36

I love the name Billie.
