    Phoebe vs. Fiona

    I really like both names and am having a hard time choosing between them. I have a son Parker and not sure what the gender of this baby is but want to be prepared for a hopeful girl =)

    I really like the nickname Fi (F-ee) for both names.

    Any opinions?

    I like Fiona. And my names is Felicia [fu-lesh-ah] and I even developed the nickname Fee but actually spelled like Fee
    I think Phobe is almost to matched syllables and spelling.

    Pheobe, because Fiona will conjure up images of ogres for young children. It certainly does for me, but otherwise it would have been lovely.
    J'adore les noms des filles françaises...

    And classic boys' names.

    I REALLY love both, I think I slightly prefer Phoebe today, but either one is great. Honestly, I think Fiona goes better with Parker. Parker and Phoebe looks a little matchy.

    I love Phoebe, as a pp noted, young children will probably associate Fiona with the ogre from Shrek.

    When I hear Phoebe, I think of the kick-butt sister from Charmed.
