Apparently my Dad used to think
Phoebe was pronounced "FOBE", so that kind of puts me off. I don't like the way it's pronounced differently to the way it's spelled.
I like the sound of it though, and at least the pronounciation/spelling is pretty common, so people won't get it wrong (unless it's my Dad!).
I like the sound of
Romeo but I don't really think it's useable. It's weird, because I think
Juliet would be fine! Maybe because
Romeo is used more often, like to tease a kid with a crush, whereas
Juliet wouldn't be.
