Lately, I cannot stop thinking about Phoebe! The name came to mind, and it hasn't left yet. Something about the look when it's written out, I find very attractive. And the name itself is quite soft (though I understand see if someone considers it babyish / infantile).

So anyway, wdyt of Phoebe?

Please rate my personal name lists:

I love it. I really do. Unfortunately so do many others in the UK ,2081 born in 2015.

I love Phoebe and the meaning "Bright" just makes it an overall happy and lighthearted name for me.

It used to be a favorite. I love its meaning and the way it looks. But the sound is kind of silly when you think about it. FEE-bee. I still have a soft spot for it and I would like to see it on someone else but I wouldn't use it anymore.

I do love it and we have friends with a DD named Phoebe. We considered it for Eden, but obviously didn't use it.

I'm sorry but I hate it! I hate the way it sounds, like you are slurring or have a stuffy nose.
I don't like the way it looks either.
There are other names like Phoebe that I can't stand; Daphne, Esme and Phaedra to mention a few.
I know lots of people here love both Phoebe and Daphne but I really can't understand why.

Daphne is another one that I actually like, though I didn't like it when I was a kid (it reminded me of Daffy Duck, lol!).

I like Phoebe. I enjoy the look and softness, as you said.

I like the name Phoebe, it just looks so elegant. Though I might not use it because to me it sounds like the word feeble.

I adore Phoebe! It would likely be near the top of my list if it weren't for my SO hating it :(
