Pippi

[CurlySuePreciousPeach]

Really love the name Pippi, but would I be setting my child up for a lifetime of long stocking jokes? Since Pippa, Poppy etc are considered useable could Pippi be?

I'd be dubious just from the pee-pee angle.

Ne fait pas pipi dans l'eau.

It means piss in French. Don't do it.

Sorry, don't like it. think it's the equivalent of "wee" in a couple fo foreign languages as well, to add to the fun.

I just thought Longstocking. It's not like there are any other Pippi's to compete. You could possible call her Philippa and Pippi for short (at a push).

I didn't notice the pee angle for teasing can you suggest something in a similar style?

Mimi, Cici

or Cece (as in an 's' sound)

That's the first thing i thought of when I saw the name.

But are kids her age going to make the same association? I don't think so?

I don't think it's a particularly good name anyways personally. But if the only thing putting you off is the long stockings thing then I would still use it.

sounds good to me

My first thought was long stocking. Do you like Pippa?

Philippa with nn pip sounds nice

Yeah I do really like Pippa....I was just trying to be a bit different!

In that case I would 100% go with Pippa. It's nice for a baby/child/adult. You can always call her Pippi as a pet name but definitely on bc Pippa.

It's cute, but only as a little girl's nickname. 'All rise for Judge Pippi Smith' no, can't see that happening.

Love it and it was veto'd by my DH for our DD.

Some one told me that your name should be chosen so you can collect the bins or work the Large Hadron Collider. I can't see Dr Pippi doing either.

Philippa but then I'm biased.

Most other philippa's i know are Pippa or pip

Think mum called me Philippa thinking that a nn would be given. But it wasn't now I ge annoyed if anyone but really close friends and family called me anything put philippa

Pippi ...long stockings!? No, stick with Pippa or Poppy xx

I would do it, you're not going to come across any other Pippi's ever, really are you. There's something nice about that.

I have only ever met 2 people face-to-face with the same name as me and there was something very peculiar about it, when I did.

Pippi is wee in German, pronounced like that (Peeppee).

LOVE Phillipa.

Pippi as anything other than a NN? No.

I know it’s been almost a decade since this thread started, I’m just intrigued to know if you called your baby Pippi in the end and whether she has gone unscathed on the “peepee” angle?

Pippi is the female genitals in my language , pronounced like that (Peeppee)!

I saw the post above about Germany but I am not from there! So, two countries to worry...

There are hundreds off nicer names than that
