Subscribed because my name is also Phoebe. Reading your posts because they are informative and delightful. You are one special Phoebe. Thank you for thoughtful contributions.
Has the name “Phoebe” caused you any grief (when I was a kid, Captain Kangaroo had a dog named FiFi - so I was taunted by other kids as having a dog’s name)? Would like to hear how you have come to terms with your given name.
One of the daughters of Bill Gates is named Phoebe. Also, there is the story of Phoebe Snow: not the singer, but a made up character used in (circa or before) turn-of-the-century print advertising to show a woman emerging from a steam-engine train in a pristine white dress -- not covered in soot.
Thank you, Phoebe! Always cool to hear from another Phoebe. I sometimes got "Phoebe Cates" since she was sort of popular in the 80s when I was a kid. And if anyone called me "Phoebe Caulfield" in high school, it meant they read Catcher in the Rye, so they were basically an intellectual.

Would you have preferred another name?
