Yep.
kankhen Says:
Maybe this is due to the fact that English isn't my first language, but I absolutely love this name! It looks so cute and unique to me
ambercat Says:
Does this name rhyme with frisbee?
Hero_Phoebus Says:
I am so conflicted about this name, because I do agree with many of the other comments on this name page. It seems like somebody with a speech impediment is attempting to pronounce "Frisbee" - such a shame as the name sounds quite beautiful.

This be Thisbe.
EW314 Says:
It's a cool name, and a much more interesting alternative to Phoebe, but as others have said it does sound a bit lispy and a lot like "frisbee". I'm liking it more and more, though.
RoddyThlayli Says:
Love Thisbe! Bee or Beebee would be good nicknames, I think.
Essa Says:
I hear frisbee too. I just don't see the appeal of this name.
headintheclouds Says:
When I see this spelled out, it just looks like "this be", words trying to form a sentence. Thisbe sounds cute, but also lispy to me, fitting with my image of Thisbe sounding rather too precocious and pretentious for me to sincerely like the name.
Thisbe brings to mind the young adult novel Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen; the main character gets a half-sister named Thisbe, and she thinks it's snooty of her English Lit professor father to have named his kids such pretentious-y names! (MC is Auden, brother Hollis- IMO those are still all-right surname names, not really on the same level of "out there" as Thisbe)

Too bad if she had a lisp ......Who knows what it might sound like
sirens_sam Says:
Maybe I'm slow but I don't know what word you're referring to.
st8cfab Says:
It's such a beautiful name, but I have to agree about the whole "frisbee" thing. A couple at my church has a daughter named Thisbe Renee and while I think it's an adorable name, she does get teased sometimes.
Sally Says:
Straight away I think frisbee.. Not a fan.
flora_kate Says:
I like it, but the spelling looks off to me :(
Catastroffy Says:
I would keep hearing "frisbee"...
DryLake Says:
It might be a beautiful name, but I doubt anyone from my country would name their kid this, if they had any kind of respect for their offspring. (It's said just like another word, a word that would be really degrading for any kid to be called.)
But it would probably sound nice in the ears of people from other nations. :3
I want to like it so much but I can't :( the frisbee connotation is just too strong. I'll stick to Phoebe and Xanthe.
