DD2 due later this year

DH and I quite like Pippa (using the longer Phillipa on the birth certificate). I mentioned the name in passing to two general friends - one laughed and said oh no Pippa Longstocking. The other laughed and said oh no, will be associated with Pippa Middleton! I know there are associations with most names but I don't want the poor girl (or us for that matter!) to suffer or have the mickey taken out of her in future

Do others have the same concerns over the name?

For info - surname is four letters so not big in length.

Other names on shortlist are: Louisa, Anna, Annabel, Laura and probably a couple of others I can't remember!

I like Pippa but think you'll see massive explosion of them (wrong word with wank assossciations Confused ) in 2011 compared to 2010 when it was 365 in UK and just 124 girls named it.

Then again you are going with Philippa, which I think is good as it gives her the option to choose her own short form later.

Pippa is lovely name but i think just at this moment you willl get people thinking you have named after Pippa Middleton.
