Hi
I think Phoebe is a gorgeous name and if you both like, you should go ahead and use it. How dare those people say they dont like it so wont refer to the baby by its name! Some people

Some of your close family members need a kick up the bum

I think it's a lovely name, and it will grow on people. I didn't like one of the names my SIL picked, but I think it really suits the child now, and never think about not liking it initially!
I'm telling noone our names, I don't want their opinions

Garfield - i love Phoebe - it's so cute. If you love it, don't mind them - stick with it!
Milis, I'm not telling family our name either - don't want any snide comments.

I love that name! Don't mind what your family think of it, as long as you and DH are happy with it that is all that matters.
Have to agree with Milis though, we're not saying our names to anyone. Much to his mothers annoyance at the weekend when I said she'd find out in January

I really do like the name. I think that is rude for people to say they wont refer to her name!
Seriously though do not tell family or even friends names you are thinking of. My DD would have been a different name if it wasnt for my dad giving comments and a close friend. I learnt that time and havent told him names this time round.
