FleaBag - lets guess her name and why with that ?

[Cheeseismymiddlename]

Possibly been done to death but I’m newish to this part of MN, can’t think why ?

Late to the party but I’ve just discovers FleaBag, bloody love it. Never seen anything like it before

I would love to know if anyone has got a name in mind for her. I think she may be a Caroline but not sure why?

Excuse the typo in the title .Should say why we think that ?

Hmmm I see her as a Lara I think...

Her sister is Claire, so something similar. Lucy, Victoria...? Yes, Caroline a good shout.

Surely it’s just to rhyme with Phoebe?

Well, not rhyme exactly. But it sort of sounds the same.

I just think of her as Fleabag and her Dad as "Dad" and Scott as "the hot priest". I've never considered it.

It is superb isn't it op? I remember sitting in stunned silence at the end. She writes lived female experience beautifully.

Yes I think her name is Phoebe, and I supposed that Fleabag was a nickname given to PWB as a child because it sounds like Phoebe?

Yes, she's named Fleabag because that's what Phoebe Waller Bridge was called when she was young.

It is so so emotional. I really cried

Thanks for replies. Yes Phoebe seems an obvious choice.
I’m going to start series 2 tonight

It's not that it's an obvious choice - Phoebe Waller Bridge has said in interviews that's where it came from!

I envy you watching it for the first time, btw.

Season 2 is even better than season 1. Enjoy cheese.

The term "fleabag" used to be the "in" insult when I was at school, I wonder whether she was teased when she was young?

Finished . It was fab. That priest .

Phwoar. I would!

Indeed. Series 2 is even better than series 1 and the priest is a highlight!

Andrew Scott gives me the fanny gallops.

I’m going to start series 2 tonight

That first episode of series 2 is probably the single most superb bit of TV I have ever watched.

Oh god yes, to last three posts.

Phoebe. Fleabag coming from a young child unable to say or understand the name. Or else a cheeky nickname.
