Philip - what's wrong with it?

Seriously, I'd like to know!

I had really quite liked Philip for a boy...but it was rather negatively received on MN.

I wouldn't want my potential DS to suffer from an awful name but it might be a shame to miss out on a good traditional name that's not too popular at the moment.

I know someone with a 3 year old Phillip. I can't put my finger on why, but it always sounds strange. Maybe I see it as a name of my generation (70's)?

Prince Philip?

Nah, like it. It's just not a 'now' name is it?

I like it - so I'm no help at all
