So What Happened?

Thanks everyone! Some people feel so strongly opposed to this name! I am surprised I got so many positive responses. :)
We chose the name Phoebe Jane for our daughter!

I don't really like it but there's certainly nothing wrong with it. If I had a daughter I think I would name her Charlotte, but that's just me! At age 46 and with 2 boys, it isn't going to happen.

raw honesty ? - odds are people will spell the name incorrectly her whole life. Sounds like the daughter of a high maintenance mother. A little to princessy for me

When I was pregnant six years ago, I chose the name Phoebe for a little girl. I wound up with a Phillip, but I still love the name Phoebe. When I picture a girl named Phoebe, I see a girl who is slightly studious, yet willing to be adventurous with the right partner-in-crime. I see a girl who knows who she is, but doesn't broadcast it to the world, but instead, waits for the world to discover her brilliance.

All I can think of is the dingy blond on Friends named Phoebe. I would go a different direction.

Good luck!

I love the old-fashioned names! (My grandma had a friend named Phoebe some years ago). I think of a very classic kind of girl.

I also think of the character on Charmed - Alyssa Milano's. She was smart, determined, and independent.

But really, whatever name you choose, she will create her own version of it. :)

LOOOOVE the name Phoebe! And not from Lisa Kudrow on Friends. I started to love it when I used to watch Charmed. That was Alyssa Milano's name on the show. My hubby and I both love it!

I love it! But, then again, it's my daughter's name, so I may be a little biased! :) Have fun with it! We've only met two others, so far, and both adults. I'd be surprised if she ever met another Phoebe in her class! :)

I love old-fashioned literature. Have you read The House of the Seven Gables? Phoebe is the beautiful young girl who brings happiness to generations of cursed and tormented family members. It's a good one (the book and the name!)

I think of the show 'Friends'. The name is nice though. Not overused, but not out of style or anything. In fact, it's more popular now than ever. Check out this link. It's pretty cool.

Beautiful name! And, I like her middle name also. They sound great together. I have a book of names with their meanings. Phoebe means bright, and the connotation is cherished. What great meanings! Enjoy your precious daughter!
