Not keen on Piper but I like the others.

Phillipa is my favorite because I like the idea of Pip or Pippa as a nn.

@BrokenBattleDroid Philippa is my favourite too but i'm not keen on the nickname Pippa. Can't explain why!

I'm not a huge fan of Sophie after someone said it was just like "soapy" but don't have strong feelings. I prefer Rosanna to Rose and I probably like Annabel and Philippa best. Good choices!

Not a fan of Piper, Sophie a bit boring/overused, but like all the others! I think Annabel is the nicest Smile

I think you could use Piper as a nn for Phillipa at a push. Would that work?

Annabel is my favourite
Followed by Sophie and Phillipa
Piper is nice but not my style
Rose feels a bit full to me. I think because it's every other child's middle name

Annabel, Sophie and Rose are the ones I would choose. I don't know any Annabels, but quite a few Sophies and Roses.

Annabel - really like
Philippa - love
Piper - like
Sophie - not keen; think it’s overdone and have met a disproportionate number of horrible Sophies for some reason
Rose - love - think this is my favourite

All so pretty- great choices! Philippa would give the most options for nns. I have a soft spot for Rose, you could always give it a longer middle name so the child has options?

Rose or Piper are my faves :)

Rose! Beautiful and underused.

Sophie and Annabel are quite common.

A lovely close friend of mine was called Phillppa.. And she had a gorgeous daughter called Roseanna.

Sadly Philippa passed away a couple of years ago as she lost her battle with cancer.

So I am unashamedly biased when I say I love those two names!

I love Piper! The others are nice too but I’d definitely choose Piper!

I like Annabel, Rose and Sophie (although the last one is my name, so I'm slightly biased Grin )

I love Annabelle and Phillippa ... not keen on Piper at all, the other two are very pretty but just not my favourites

My favourite is Piper. It's lovely and different.

Annabel's having a 'moment', and I think it'll date. Piper - no, 'surname name' territory for me. Rose - nice but so very common as a middle name - the Louise of our day (I do actually like Louise, but it got done to death in my generation). Rosa or Rosalind would be better. Philippa is far and away my favourite. Sophie's a great name but very popular (am aware it's so popular because it's a great name) - hoe about Sophia?
