Really sorry but Phyllida will definately be shortened to to the STD when in the teen years and knew a lovely old lady called Phyllis but not for a baby. Sorry!

don't like those, remind me of old lady names but Phillippa is nice.

Phyllida reminds me of a horsey childrens book. I seem to remember liking the book though

pointydog · 22/08/2008 23:37

I like them not a jot

How about Philomena? Am pretty sure thats not the right spelling though

x posted, okay maybe Phyllida isn't any safer.

Phyllis is on our baby name list, we're thinking Phillida as a safer alternative.

A combination of syphillis and chlymydia in fact- 2 for the price of one I will stop now...

vicsta · 22/08/2008 23:26

Think Syphillis (Sp?). Sorry, no to either. Phillipa? Pippa? Like Eirlys, but may be a bit welsh.

chlamydia is much prettier

littlelamb · 22/08/2008 23:26

Phyllida sounds like an STD

theinsider · 22/08/2008 23:25

Oh you said be nice

Yes, ok, Phyllis Railway Children - not bad. Abbreviated to Phyl, also ok, if a bit male.

Wouldn't choose it myself but not too bad, I've seen a lot worse on MN.
