    There are a variety of titles you could have for a CD based on Phoebe.  One such title could be "Innocence Unbounded," which would reflect her sense of innocence and authenticity in how she views the world.  This is such a strong contrast to Holden, whose jaded view of the social setting is so dominant.  Another title could be, "Great Student, Travelling Light" which could reflect Phoebe's strong student status and her willingness to travel with Holden when he picks her up from school.  Essentially, you want to find a title that captures the essence of her nature, which is one of optimism and positivism in a world that has phoniness and jaded sentiments.
