Re: Phoebe
in reply to a message by adj
Any other spelling looks ridiculous and illiterate: Phebe, Feebee, Phebie. Ugh.
Anyway, I don't like the sound of it either. Fee Bee. It sounds so dumb. Like a cheap bird that you plug in and it does that Fee Bee everytime you walk past it.

I agree about all the other spellings looking strange. Phebe and Phebie look like they should be pronounced FEB and FEB-ee, and Feebee is just too ridiculous. At the same time, the more traditional Phoebe looks like it should be pronounced FOBE (rhyming with probe) or FOE-bee.
Overall, I just don't care for the look or sound of Phoebe.

Thank you RoxStar.
I happen to love the spelling of my name, and the sound.
With Phoebe I always had the idea it was pronounced FOO-be
But I agree Feebee and Phebie are indeed Ugh.
