For some reason I imagine a little bird, similar to a chickadee, whose call sounds like “Fee! Bee! Fee-bee!”
It’s one of those rare names that rides the line between cute and substantive. Some days I think it does both fairly well, and on other days, neither. It seems to depend on my mood.
I missed the whole Friends phenomenon, so I actually think of the character from the original Charmed. Although the character evolved, the writers originally seemed to intend for her to be flighty and untethered, which I understand also describes the Friends girl, so you can’t ignore that vibe.
