Baby Names
We're suddenly having doubts about the name.
EvelineGuest ·
Hi ladies,
We've been away for a while, but suddenly we're having doubts about the name again. My boyfriend is American, but we live in the Netherlands. The name we had in mind (still have) is:
PHOEBE
(full name Phoebe Dorothy Hannah, so pronounced Fiebie).
We're wondering if this name is pronounceable enough in the Netherlands. What do you think? And do you think it's a nice name at all?
We already have two other daughters; Hazel Emilia Johanna and Kate Madelyn Olivia.
Thanks!

I agree with Anne.
Phoebe fits well with Hazel and Kate. -

I personally don’t think Phoebe is such a beautiful name. But you should really do what you want! I’d maybe take Hannah as the first name then... -

I don't see anything wrong with it, especially not given her roots. -

I think it's a nice name. And I immediately understand how to pronounce it. I think only people who don't speak English will find it difficult, but almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks some English. -

A really beautiful name! -

Hihi... every time I read the name, I think "foebie," and when I see the pronunciation, I think "fiebie." I don't find it that beautiful myself. It's American, though, so it fits with the rest of your names.
