Thinking of names for our next little girl expected in July to go with our first DD Alyssa Mae (short one syllable last name). So far names we like but dont love include Phoebe and Georgia. WDYT of these? Other suggestions welcome!

Phoebe would be my pick. I've always liked it, but have never met one. I prefer Georgina to Georgia, but would still pick Phoebe!

Prefer Phoebe. Georgia is OK as well. Alyssa Mae is gorgeous (sorry, not very helpful!)

I like both Phoebe and Georgia. If I had to pick my favourite it would probably be Phoebe.

My sister is Phoebe. I really like it. I like Georgia as well, but I think Phoebe has more spunk and is more unexpected. However, while most people wouldn't make this connection, I immediately think of Alyssa Milano who played the character Phoebe on Charmed.
