Pippi

Really love the name Pippi, but would I be setting my child up for a lifetime of long stocking jokes? Since Pippa, Poppy etc are considered useable could Pippi be?

Philippa with nn pip sounds nice

My first thought was long stocking. Do you like Pippa?

sounds good to me Wink

That's the first thing i thought of when I saw the name.

But are kids her age going to make the same association? I don't think so?

I don't think it's a particularly good name anyways personally. But if the only thing putting you off is the long stockings thing then I would still use it.

or Cece (as in an 's' sound)

Shock I didn't notice the pee angle for teasing Blush can you suggest something in a similar style?

I just thought Longstocking. It's not like there are any other Pippi's to compete. You could possible call her Philippa and Pippi for short (at a push).

Sorry, don't like it. think it's the equivalent of "wee" in a couple fo foreign languages as well, to add to the fun.

Ne fait pas pipi dans l'eau.

It means piss in French. Don't do it.

I'd be dubious just from the pee-pee angle.
