Hello,

I have 12 weeks left until the birth of my baby and I can’t decide between the name Sienna OR Philippa.

Can you also suggest any middle names for either or both names?

Thank you in advance!

Pippa is a very rude word in other languages 🙈

For that reason, I'd stay clear of that one.

I am a registrar and I've only ever registered a baby Sienna once. I think it's a lovely name.

Love Sienna, I’d love to use it but my only worry is that some people would mix it up with Senna as in the laxative🤦‍♀️ (sorry, can you tell I’m medical!!) Probably just overthinking things but it’s a gorgeous name

Philippa is very old fashioned to me, not a fan at all. Really like Pippa though if that would be a compromise
