I absolutely love Pippa but I'm not sure I would want it as a full name. I quite like Penelope but I'm not sure if it would shorten to Pippa well. I also very much dislike Philipa. Any suggestions? X

@Jadviga its peppa pig, not pippa.

@lolarm I know a Pippa, that’s their full name. They don’t have any issues with it. It’s a lovely name

I know a pippa. It's lovely.

It's said all the time on here, but Pippa is not a name that travels well thanks to its derogatory meaning in other languages.

If you already know this, sorry to repeat.

Pippa doesn't work as a diminutive of Penelope though. It's definitely from Philippa.

If you feel like Pippa is more of a nickname than a proper name but you quite like Penelope, maybe you should just opt for Penelope instead?

I definitely wouldn't use it as a full name, she'd get called Pippa Pig all the time. And if she happens to be chubby the pig jokes will just be that much worse.

I took a look at P names but didn't see many that would shorten organically to Pippa. Maybe Piper ?

And it doesn't shorten to Pippa but I do like Phaedra.

I like Pippa.

I love Penelope.

But they're two separate names.

Do you like Poppy or Piper?

I like Penelope and Penny for short
