I have decided that I want Phoebe Rose but I don't think dp is soo keen he likes,
Abigail
Pippa (Phillippa)
Rosie (Rose)
but he doesn't know which middle names.

So what do you all think? I don't dislike the names he likes but I really like my choice

I like them all, but especially Philippa (not so keen on Pippa though) - distinguished and unusual.

bogie · 01/08/2008 16:21

oh and he likes Miranda aswell

I like Miranda, Abigail and Rosie - not keen on Philippa or Pippa (usual disclaimer applies).

Tigerschick · 01/08/2008 16:24

I really like Phoebe Rose tho Phillippa Rose is also very nice.
I love the name Phillippa but my dad is Philip so it's a no-go for us ...

Songbird · 01/08/2008 16:25

Mmn, not so keen on Philippa myself. I'm not keen on Phoebe either - sorry. I'm very well acquainted (iykwim) with an Abigail Elizabeth, which I've warmed to over the years. I absolutely lurve the name Rosie/Rose. Abigail Rose is nice

girlsallaround · 01/08/2008 16:26

Miranda Rose sounds lovely
so does Phillippa Rose

FranSanDisco · 01/08/2008 16:29

Phoebe Rose would be my choice.

AbbeyA · 01/08/2008 16:31

I like Philippa but hate the shortened forms.
Not too keen on Phoebe.
Abigail and Miranda are nice as is Rosie/Rosie/Rosamund/Rosalind.
Rose Elizabeth sounds nice.
Or put Philippa as a second name so that no one shortens it.

CantSleepWontSleep · 01/08/2008 16:43

I have a Philippa Rose, so no prizes for guessing what gets my vote!

nickeldime · 01/08/2008 16:44

Wouldn't go for Philippa/Pippa; they sound kind of aristocratic and dated.

Rose/Rosie is great - apparently Rose is most popular, followed by Rosa, then Rosemary.. seen at:
baby name Rose

Songbird · 01/08/2008 16:46

Sophie's pretty. Sophie Rose....

jellybeans · 01/08/2008 17:24

Philippa is nice.

clairebear88 · 01/08/2008 18:03

Abigail
Amy
Phoebe
Libby
Caityln
Lydia

Im not too keen on Phillipa or Miranda though sorry.

frazzledoldbag34 · 01/08/2008 19:33

Rosie and Pheobe are my favorites of those listed. But not sure you could use them together?
I like your choice of Pheobe Rose actually.
Classy and pretty too.

nappyaddict · 04/08/2008 01:42

Pippa Rose

carrieon · 04/08/2008 14:18

I know a Philippa whose sister is Alexandra. They're known as Phil and Alex and everyone thinks their parents secretly wanted sons!

I like Abigail best, means something like 'father's joy' which little girls usually are

pacita · 08/08/2008 17:44

I like most of the names on the list, but my favourite would be just Rose or Rosie.

SlartyBartFast · 08/08/2008 17:49

i like pippa

HonoriaGlossop · 08/08/2008 18:26

Agree with pacita that just Rose is perfect.

or if not, Phoebe Rose is the best on the list. If that's what you want - have it! When your DP carries the baby then HE can have the casting vote, IMO!

CompletelyDotty · 08/08/2008 18:35

i love the name Phoebe Rose! ignore what dp says it's a beautiful name!

3andnomore · 08/08/2008 19:07

really hope you can get him to go with your choice...Phoebe Rose is a gorgeous name

Abigail -lovely name
Pippa (Phillippa)- don't like Pippa but Phillippa is nice
Rosie (Rose)- not keen on Rosie, but Rose is a lovely name

Tas1 · 08/08/2008 19:27

My DD is Phoebe Olivia.

bogie · 08/08/2008 19:33

can't have rose as we have an auntie called rose who we see all the time.

Tell him not to mess with a hormonal woman. Phoebe it is!

keevamum · 08/08/2008 19:50

Love Rose. Personally I would prefer something a bit more unusual such as Lola Rose or Amelia Rose or Olivia Rose. Best of your list is Phoebe Rose.
