I prefer Amber. I've never liked Phoebe. Just my personal preference.

100% Phoebe

DD's middle name is Phoebe, I'm clearly biased but I love it

emmathedilemma · 02/12/2022 08:59

Phoebe

Sprogonthetyne · 02/12/2022 09:02

I have an Amber and it's great, well know enough that everyone can recognise/spell/pronounce it, but we've never met another one, so don't need to constantly tag on an initial at school.

caitlinrose · 02/12/2022 09:06

Phoebe because Amber currently just reminds me of the whole Johnny Depp/Amber Heard drama.

RoachTheHorse · 02/12/2022 09:07

Phoebe.

I have a Phoebe though so am clearly biased 🤣

Phoebe

Amber is just a bit naff I think.

Phoebe Anna
Phoebe Carys
Phoebe Celeste

But if you have one you like a family middle name is nicest I think

soulinablackberrypie · 02/12/2022 09:41

Amber, although I don't dislike Phoebe.

Amber Louise (flows nicely, but is maybe a bit too obvious/popular)
Amber Isabel(le)
Amber Rosalie
Amber Danielle
Amber Rachel
Amber Lauren
Amber Chloe
Amber Eve
Amber Emily

Phoebe Jessica
Phoebe Alice/Alicia
Phoebe Saskia
Phoebe Estella
Phoebe Madeleine

Phoebe is a terrible name Fee-bee
do not get the hype

Proudofitbabe · 02/12/2022 11:25

Those are the names of Tess Daly's children!

I love Phoebe, don't like Amber at all.

Ellmau · 02/12/2022 18:48

Phoebe is lovely. Amber is OK but maybe a bit dated?

LlynTegid · 02/12/2022 18:50

Phoebe is my preference. As for middle names, my opinion is that they should be celebrating or remembering another family member. Such as the name of a grandmother.

Roselilly36 · 02/12/2022 18:53

I love Amber, only ever met a few Ambers, Phoebe is more popular.

BotterMon · 02/12/2022 18:58

Phoebe.

Amber is a breed of chicken.

Calmondeck · 02/12/2022 19:20

Amber by a long mile

Amber by a huge sodding mile
