I really love both [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Etta[/name_f] and I think either would be lovely with your girls names. I went for [name_f]Etta[/name_f] in the end and I think [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is a great combo!

Both are lovely: I don’t think you can go wrong with either.

Personally, I’d go with [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], but that’s because I’m a sucker for those soft, feminine sounding names and love the “fee” sound. [name_f]Etta[/name_f] sounds a bit harsher to me (I personally prefer [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Effie[/name_f] in terms of sound), but it’s still a really pretty and (for now at least!) more unusual name.

I prefer [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] to [name_f]Etta[/name_f], I like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] more as a nn to a formal name (i.e. [name_f]Loretta[/name_f], [name_f]Rosetta[/name_f], [name_f]Julietta[/name_f]). That’s just my style though.

Some combo suggestions:

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]

I love both and you can’t go wrong very here. I think [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is the perfect name with [name_f]Camille[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f].

6

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] feels very short next to [name_f]Camille[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], so I would lean towards [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. However I do prefer [name_f]Etta[/name_f] as a name, maybe like a previous poster suggested, use [name_f]Etta[/name_f] as a nn for s longer name to match your girls? [name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] and [name_f]Marietta[/name_f] for example.

Personally, [name_f]Etta[/name_f] seems very harsh to me and doesn’t quite match with [name_f]Camille[/name_f] and and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]. However I think [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] goes perfectly with her sisters!

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]

I absolutely adore both names, but with your daughters I like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] best.

[name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I never cared for [name_f]Etta[/name_f]. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is cute and spunky and adorable!

11

Thank you everyone!! I appreciate the input. I think we are going with [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]! [name_u]Love[/name_u] both names, but [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] feels like it fits in best with our spunky little ladies :smiley:

12

While my all-time favourite girls name is [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and I think it goes really well with your others girls lovely names, I think I like [name_f]Etta[/name_f] with them even more. [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is so sweet!

13

I absolutely adore [name_f]Etta[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]!

14

I chose [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] because I believe it goes well with your other daughters names :slight_smile:

15

[name_f]Etta[/name_f] seems like a continuation of the name [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]…as in Georgietta. So I think [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] works best.
[name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and [name_f]Pheobe[/name_f] distinguishes each name nicely, whereas [name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and [name_f]Etta[/name_f] sounds a bit clumsy.

[name_f]Camille[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], & [name_f]Etta[/name_f] is a beautiful sibset!
