Thanks!

NMS. To me it sounds like something you would name your pet.

It's cute.  It's different but not too different. 

SumnerBride

Friends.  That's all I can think of when I hear that name.

femmegem

I like it!

amanda&rob

Smelly cat, sa-mell-y cat. What are they feeding you?

minnasmommy

All I can think of is Lisa Kudrow's character on Friends.

This is one name I've tried to like, but I can't. The show Friends and my friend's crazy cat have forever tainted the name.

Smelly cat, smelly cat...all I can think of is Phoebe from friends.

Bellisimo

Two people come to mind:  Phoebe Cates and Lisa Kudrow.  I like it though.

NMS...goes right along with Chloe

I've always liked the name. I never really watched Friends. I think of Phoebe Cates. I think it has a lot of great middle name possibilities, too.

FeatherFire

I agree with the pp that says it seems in the same group of names as Chloe - for me both names are ones that I really like but would never use - not really sure why.

?

Anyway, I like it, I think that enough time has passed since friends that the association will fade.

Although I still got bewitched references with dd's name so who knows.?

Ditto the Friends and the pet name...sorry!

Pee-Hobe is KILLING me!!!

 I love it- there was this super cool girl I knew named Phoebe, I always thought it was such a perfect name for her...

 

I really like the name.

Ditto.

ditto on "it sounds like something you would name your pet" I know a few of them actually...

and I also thought of Friends first

I like it. Sure, it reminds me of Friends, but that's not a bad thing.

I think it's cute. Yeah, it goes with Chloe, but I think it's just because of the O and E spelling.I think they're both French. (?) My brother keeps telling me he thinks it's cute. And I remember in Monster Squad -- 80s movie the big brother called the sister "Phoebe the Feeb".

 

Either way, I think a kid named Phoebe would be very cute.

JOEBunny

I like it.  There is a little girl in DD's school named Phoebe.  She is very cute.

Starr_Mom

I love it, but I also love Phoebe Cates from Drop Dead Fred (among other things) and Phoebe from Friends.

Kelly Madonna

Yep, I think Friends too.
