Team Phoebe!

Love both. I’d call her Phoebe Matilda. I don’t know why people would think that a connection with Friends would be a problem? Phoebe was the nicest of the six.

Matilda! We have one. Always called Matilda by adults - introduces herself by this too. Her friends call her Tilda. She likes Tildies at home. Just a great all rounder name for kids and adults.

I do like Phoebe, but don’t like the nickname Pheebs and every Phoebe I’ve met seems to get called Pheebs.

Matilda. But I will always vote anything other than Phoebe. Perfectly normal name, just one I don't prefer.

Yes, that's exactly how I feel.

I accept its a normal name, I realise other people like it, but it just sounds so "Feeebly" to me.
