Phoebe?
I haven't heard it very often IRL, but sometimes in books. So, I guess I'm wondering if it is commonly used, and if lots of people like it.TIA!

I love this name and would seriously consider using it for my DD one day, but DH doesn't like it. He thinks it sounds like the name of a disease! :P

I like it - I think it's cute and beautiful. I know a little girl named Phoebe Ruth.

I know two Phoebes under the age of 5 but I don't think its popular. Lots of people has no idea how to spell it though, that can be a bit of a drawback. I like the name a lot, I think it can be really sweet on a little girl, and with the character in Friends I can even imagine it on an adult.

I really love it. I've only known one Phebe (spelt that way, which is how I personally prefer it), and she's from London.

It's sweet. Very connected with the character on "Friends" and probably will be for a while, but that's not a bad thing, IMO. There will be spelling problems, of course, but I definitely wouldn't change the spelling for that reason. I only know one "real life" Phoebe and she's the youngest of 4 girls (her sisters are Madelyn, Samantha, & Victoria).
