DD2 due later this year

DH and I quite like Pippa (using the longer Phillipa on the birth certificate). I mentioned the name in passing to two general friends - one laughed and said oh no Pippa Longstocking. The other laughed and said oh no, will be associated with Pippa Middleton! I know there are associations with most names but I don't want the poor girl (or us for that matter!) to suffer or have the mickey taken out of her in future

Do others have the same concerns over the name?

For info - surname is four letters so not big in length.

Other names on shortlist are: Louisa, Anna, Annabel, Laura and probably a couple of others I can't remember!

I love Phillipa and Pippa and have done since I was a kid watching Robot Wars :o Classy, fun names.

Annabel is officially trademarked by me. You may not have it.

It's Pippi Longstocking, so you're safe there. I like it. If you like it use it!
