I really like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is adorable! I don’t blame you for struggling for a middle, you have so many great options. I picked a top 4:

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f] caught my eye immediately…I don’t know if you know of the singer & advertising character w/the name?

Of your list, I like…

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]

it’s so hard! I keep adding to the list instead of narrowing it down, you picked all of my favorites though :slight_smile: [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] has been my top for a while, but it’s one that I keep questioning because I’m not sure if it actually is pretty and sounds good or if I just got it in my head. I’m glad that some people on here seem to like it!

@cactusgram It’s so hard! I keep adding to the list instead of narrowing it down! You picked some of my very favorites though, so that kinda helps! [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] has been at the top for me, but after a few days of being set on it I question it and then go down the whole rabbit trail and come up with 5 new names I love. woops! \

@bobcat108 I think you picked mine, my husband, and my mom’s favorites. At least I know we are in the right direction!

@greyblue I love [name_u]Winter[/name_u] so much! I’m questioning myself because the winter season is really tough where I live (Michigan), but it’s also really beautiful. I love how the name sounds, but I can’t decide if she’ll end up liking it or not!

@ladylight love your picks :slight_smile:

@erinbeth yay! so glad you love [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]. That’s one of my top picks but I keep questioning it, so I’m really happy people like it. [name_f]Colette[/name_f] was one my husband recently suggested and I love that one too, and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] just sounds so classic and pretty! I actually forgot that my husband suggested [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] recently and I looove that too. I have no idea how I’ll pick! My sister in law is pregnant too and her girl name is [name_f]Claire[/name_f], otherwise I love how that sounds :slight_smile:

Thanks to everyone who has responded already! Still trying to figure out how to use forums and can’t really figure out how I’m able to respond to people so hopefully you’ll see this?

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] is a stand out to me. I also like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Odette[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]

[name_f]Lorraine[/name_f] is my husband’s grandma’s middle name which i think is super sweet! [name_f]Odette[/name_f] is one of my husband’s favorites and [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] is mine, so they all feel like great options!

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]

I tend to like the middle names without the long “e” vowel sound, although [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is nice (regardless of long e sound)!

I’m liking [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], Phoebe Blythe and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] (however, I tend to pronounce this name [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-lizabeth, as opposed to a distinct E sound).

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] - I think this one is my favorite!
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
