I really like the name Philippa and love the nn Pippa, but cant stand 'Phyl' as a nn, so that is holding me back a bit

Really like Alice and Lucia as well

Already have an Oliver and an Edward.

Any other suggestions along those lines? or opinions on the 3 on my list?

My Alice does get called a variety of names. "Small" and "Azzer" being my preferred ones. Do not like calling her Azzer and have no idea why I do it .

Alice defo, not keen on Pippa either. My MIL is Philippa and always gets galled Pip.

Am a bit biased but would say Alice. I don't like the nickname Pippa though. Not keen on Lucia at all.

I have Oliver and Alice! So you have excellent taste. Alice often gets lots of lovely comments on her name and I like that it can't be shortened easily. I'll point out though that it means you have the same sound at the start of both Oliver and Alice (li) - I didn't realise until afterwards.

Philippa was on our shortlist for DD and a lovely name. Have never thought of Phyl as a nn - always Pippa or Pip.

Don't like Lucia as much.

Other girls names that we liked were Helena, Ellen, Eleanor and Rebecca.

Alice

Alice is nice.

I'm never sure how to pronounce Lucia so that puts me off.

Don;t like Philippa or Pippa at all.

I really like Pippa too. I think she would be more likely to be called Pip for short than Phyl
