my dear fiance brought up the name phoebe a couple of days ago.

i told him flat out that i didnt like it, but now i am reconsidering. it is far nicer than his other recent suggestion of marina i swear. the boy is so random. marina is not a name to me, its a place to park boats. he insisted it harkens back to his irish heritage.

only other names we agree on so far are ruby and josie and possibly fiona.

what do you guys think of phoebe?

Phoebe seems kind of foofy to me... like Chloe or Zoe. It has the same feel; therefore, I think it will continue to rise in popularity. It's not a bad name though, just bright and hyper and a little ditzy.

I do like Marina, but I don't know why your fiancé thinks it's Irish. Because it's not. Ruby and Josie are both a little too posh, but Josephine would be beautiful. Though I'd pick a few other nns over Josie anyday. But I LOVE Fiona. I'd consider using it myself, and your fiancé certainly must favor it if he would like an Irish name.

yea when he said that, i was kind of like "really? its irish?" it just didnt seem right to me, but i didnt follow it up.

yes, my fiance loves fiona. it was his suggestion!

i love josie and josephine, but he doesnt like josephine, even though josie is currently our number one (i would say it recently blew past our former number one, which was ruby) and he is absolutely MADLY in love with JOSIE! plus middle name will be colleen, so yea...

also, i dont like any other nicknames for josephine (hate joey on a girl, for example)

I don't like Joey on a girl either, though I don't mind Jo. But have you thought of Sophie, Effie, or Fina?

sophie has been in my top three for eons, its still pretty high up there for me, the boy is still on the fence about it though.

i also like ellie, emmie, issie, evie, (nick)names like that. effie seems ok to me, but a little off.

i love getting new suggestions, i find it super helpful, so thank you! :)
