What are your thoughts on Pippin nn Pip for a boy?

What are your thoughts on Percival? Do you think it would get shortened? Any other shortening than Percy or Perry?

Pippin nice for a fat little pony. Percival not nice at all imo.

Pippin makes me think of the dog on Come Outside, a kids tv show I remember Dneice watching when she was little.

Pippin is a terrible name for an adult

They somehow sound a bit 'wet'. What about Phillip with Pip as NN as bookworm suggests?

Pip is short for Philip, isn't it? Please don't call your child Pippin Hmm.
Or Pip... That's almost worse.

My little dog is called pippin and it really suits him. Just saying.

I think of Pippin the Hampster from Ben and holly

I like Pippin and Pip. I know a female one. Dislike Percival though, and I think you'd almost certainly end up with a Percy, which is horrible.

Pippin is very twee - can't picture it on a 40 year old man. What about Phillip nicknamed Pip?

I don't like either. Percival is awful.
