DH likes Phili/Phily/Phil for a girl
I like Mena

And I think it goes with a french surname.

So what do you think?

I like it, though I don't like Phili/Philly/Phil as a nn - sounds like the cheese (plus my DH is from just outside Philadelphia).

I like Philo (I have a friend who goes by this), Mena or Ena.

Though I'm Irish and it is a bit of a granny name (not in a cool way) or nun's name (my secondary school had a sister philomena) though I still like it.

Where I live its a real granny name (and not in the cool way ) or a nuns name.

honestly?

Kid will be called Philadeplhia at school.

Philly - Filly = horse

good luck with the pregnancy though.

I love it. There was a play years ago called Philomena, I think about an Italian family, a whole Italian meal was cooked on stage. Great name.

I'm not too keen and think it would always be shortened/ nn. Personally I don't see the point of having one name, if you are always going to be known by another.

I like it. Different but not irritating. It's a yes from me.
