I like Phoebe Olivia best, given it honours a family member and I think it flows nicely. Just check the initials don’t spell anything untoward.

Grace and Rose are the most popular middle names and are often thought of as filler names, so I’d avoid them.

I would go Phoebe Olive to honour Nan.

Olive
Adding Grace or Rose kind of makes the name less appealing and gives it more of a common vibe. ( and i say that as someone with a DD with mn Rose- which i regret)
Olivia doesn't flow well with Phoebe imo.

Definitely Phoebe Olive after Nan
Not rose or Grace as they are v overdone as middle names

Thatsmorethanhalf · 13/09/2023 09:13

I think Olive because it has significance for you.

Theoldwoman · 13/09/2023 13:19

Phoebe Olive is my favourite!

LastNightAPandaSavedMyLife · 13/09/2023 13:27

Olivia.

Every girl has Rose/Grace/May. It’s so overdone.

KirstenBlest · 13/09/2023 13:28

Phoebe Olivia or Phoebe Olive.

Phoebe Grace Olivia Surname?

KirstenBlest · 13/09/2023 16:52

In Phoebe Grace Olivia Surname or Phoebe Rose Surname, the Grace or Rose detracts.

Velvetbee · 13/09/2023 16:56

Olivia

Definitely Phoebe Olive after your husband's Nan. We have used my husband's Nan and my mum's names as middle names.

I think Phoebe Olive sounds the most original and interesting out of your choices anyway.

Grace as a first name for us as we like it, but fully aware it's seen as a filler middle name!

Phoebe Olive ❤️

Love both names, love an honour name - perfect!

Daisybuttercup12345 · 13/09/2023 22:41

Phoebe Olivia. Lovely 😍

Olivia has too many syllables to use with Phoebe.

Phoebe Ruth? Phoebe Rachel? Phoebe Alice? Phoebe Joy?

Phoebe Olivia is beautiful, and meaningful to you so even better, Phoebe Cate is also nice but I'm wondering if I've seen it as a "celeb" name somewhere...?
