Birth registration is due imminently and I’m still stuck! I love Grace as a sleek classic but the commonness bugs me. I’ve loved Laurel for a long time but am concerned about flow with our last name. I think of Blythe as an uncommon alternative to Grace.
None of these drawbacks is disqualifying—just worth considering along with the pros.
I said Grace! I think you should just go with it. Popularity shouldn’t bother you. I have only ever known 1 Grace so even though loads of people like it I don’t think it is overly used
From this, it sounds like you love [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] the most. I think. Anyways, if that’s what you love, then use it regardless of what your family thinks.
And as for [name_f]Grace[/name_f], she’s so common as a middle, and I think it would be fresh and fun as a first name!
I vote for [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]! It’s my favourite name on the list - so bubbly and sweet. Sounds like it’s the name you love the most, and you and your partner’s opinions are the only ones that matter.
Definitely [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]! Its beautiful, spunky, quirky, and sweet! All that matters is you love it! I’m sure your family member will come around once they associate the name with your little one! good luck!!
I actually think the flow of [name_u]Laurel[/name_u] [name_m]Miller[/name_m] is great! If you really love [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] though, don’t let someone else’s opinion ruin it for you.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Laurel[/name_u], but not sure it goes with last name, so [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] gets my vote - also on my list. [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] is horrible and I find [name_f]Grace[/name_f] a little dull.
