My name is spelt that way without the "o" and people correct it all the time, even on official documents! Drives me crazy. I have despised it since a young age. I think it sounds like a pet name, or a name of a very small, girly child. Most people say they like it (but what friend would tell you your name is not that great, right?) I like Greek names, but I think this one falls more into the 'out of fashion' basket.
My name is Phebe (spelled without the "o"). I hated my name as a kid. People would purposely spell and say it incorrectly just to tick me off. I didn't start loving and appreciating my name until I became an adult and realized the meaning of my name and the uniqueness of my name. I am obsessed with other "Phebe/Phoebe's" and I feel like we all share an unspoken bond through our name. I get a lot of compliments on my name as well. I love that it's a rare name and I am the only Phebe that I know and that anyone else knows. I almost changed my name but I wouldn't be me if my name wasn't Phebe. I love it!

Phebe is an okay name I guess, whenever people hear my name they always love it but some say it sounds like an old lady's name which I hate.
