Hallie or Pippa? Sister for Belle

Just that really! Hallie or Pippa as a baby sister for 2yo Belle? We wouldn’t go for a longer name eg Philippa etc, just choosing between those two!

Pippa….. less l’s but tbh prefer Hallie

Hallie is my favourite. If a December baby I think I'd pick Holly. I regret not calling DD2 Hayley.

Hallie

Not Hallie for sure. Pippa is better.

Pippa, it has the same fresh, pretty feel as Belle and doesn’t repeat the same sounds.

Pippa

Definitely not Hallie. So, Pippa!

Pippa does not translate well, it has a very rude meaning in some languages. It could be quite an unfortunate name to bear if she chooses to travel when she's older.

I think the 'll' in Belle and Hallie mirror each other well.

Holly is quite similar to Hallie, if you like Holly?

Pippa

I love Hallie.

Pippa!

LizzieBet14 · 28/12/2024 20:30

Belle & Pippa go nicely together 💕

FatFiatMultiplaWhopper · 28/12/2024 20:20

Pippa by a mile. Hallie is just a noise.

Pippa any day

One of the Radford kids is Hallie which would be enough to put me off tbh

Aglassaday · 28/12/2024 20:17

Prefer Pippa :)

allmylifelong · 28/12/2024 20:16

Hallie

Both are nice! Pippa is my favourite 🤩

Blakethedrake · 28/12/2024 20:14

Hallie

sorry I really really don’t like pippa

Sk1sk0 · 28/12/2024 19:56

Both work well with Belle. I think I slightly prefer Pippa
