"How about Gabby?" Darla suggested.
"No."
"What about Gee-Bee?" Darla said.
"No. Her name is just Garbage Baby."
Here she is asleep at the beach house with Garbage Baby, Cookie (the pink thing), and Bean Bag Puppy, with Llama Llama at her feet. The two toys she named personally are Garbage Baby and Bean Bag Puppy. We're hoping her naming skills...mature...a bit before she has to name actual humans or something.
"But why Garbage Baby?" Rachel asked (even though Rachel knows perfectly well why—it's because Garbage Baby was found beside a garbage can).
"It's the only name I know," Phoebe said wistfully.
"What do you mean it's the only name you know?!" Rachel said. "That implies some pretty awful things about our family..."
For the record, we have never called Phoebe (or anyone else) Garbage Baby.
"Are you sure you don't want to call her something else?"
"I can't. Her name is already just Garbage Baby."
