Phoebe, Eliza or Ophelia

[girlmum6]

Would anyone mind giving their thoughts on my latest name ideas for my baby girl due in a few months. Thank you!

Phoebe
Eliza
Ophelia

Phoebe and Eliza are gorgeous. There are a lot of Eliza’s round us atm so I’d choose Phoebe.

Ophelia is a bit frilly and trendy for me.

Agree!

You've listed them in my order of preference.

Phoebe is nice but will inevitably be ‘pheebs’ by most. Ophelia is lovely in theory but I’m not sure I’d want to be called it. Eliza is perfect and would have been on my list if I didn’t have a relative called this. In my opinion it is strong but feminine (which is always my personal preference for girls names)

I love Ophelia and only know one - she’s Fifi as a nickname.

All beautiful names!
Phoebe
Ophelia
Eliza

Would be my order ^

Eliza is my favourite but Phoebe is nice too.

Ophelia is really not a nice sound.

I love Phoebe!
Not so keen on Eliza, but love Elizabeth
Really dislike Ophelia

Phoebe 100%. Beautiful name.

I really dislike the sound of Eliza, one of my least favourite names.

Ophelia is ok but I find people pronounce it Orphelia sometimes which i don't like.

Thank you all. Phoebe is my favourite of the three followed by Eliza so glad others seem most popular.

Eliza

ophelia second!

I have a 28 year old Phoebe she has never been Pheeps to anyone so no its not inevitable.

I like all 3 names but obviously Phoebe is my favourite.

Ophelia - when I first read it I wasn't sure but I actually like how unique it is whilst remaining beautifully old and Greek.

It reminds me of Hamlet - a tragic story but stunning name that connotes femininity.

Also "Fifi" as a nickname is absolutely adorable

I do also like Eliza, though I imagine they will end up nicknamed "Eli" or "Ellie"

And Phoebe I feel I very popular, both in pop couture ( I instantly think of Friends ) and generally. As a "Chloe" I'd have loved to have had a more unique name

Love Ophelia and Eliza
Not so keen on Phoebe - it just makes me think of Friends 😂

Adore Ophelia - so elegant sounding. I know it’s trendy now, but in some ways that increase in popularity’s a good thing as it makes it less likely people will automatically think/mention Hamlet now when they hear the name.

Less keen on the sounds of Phoebe and Eliza (though I do love Elizabeth) - Phoebe has too much “ee” in so short a name for me and the “lie” sound in Eliza isn’t pleasant imo.

Eliza
Ophelia
Phoebe

Eliza is lovely!

Eliza

Can’t go wrong with either Phoebe or Eliza but I can’t warm to Ophelia at all and find it much too frilly and faddy. I suspect it will date much more than the other two.

While both are lovely, at a push I think I’d choose Eliza over Phoebe as to me it has a more elegant sound and ages a little better.

Love Phoebe
dislike Eliza
in the middle on Ophelia

I like Ophelia but I feel that it’d be bad luck to call my child that (Hamlet). I prefer Eliza to Phoebe.

Eliza and Phoebe are beautiful

Im not keen on Ophelia. I remember watching one of the 20 kids and counting episodes with the radford family and one of the toddlers is called Ophelia but always pronounced like ‘aw-feel-ya’

I love Ophelia

You might also like Elspeth that's my current fave

Love Phoebe. Phoebe Eliza? I wouldn't worry about the Friends connection.

We have an Ophelia at nursery and the amount of practitioners who can’t say it right, I don’t think I’d use the name.

we also have a Phoebe, and that’s super cute on a little one. Pheebs.

Eliza is beautiful - never met one in person
