Pippi

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?

Oh Zombie thread !!! My bad

Pippin?

Pippin sounds like a swear word.

It’s also wee in Welsh. Pronounced pee-pee. It would definitely attract teasing here.

Not spelt the same. You don't get a double p in Welsh

I know that, I’m a Welsh speaker. It’s pipi. But it sounds the same 🙄

The German word for wee is Pipi, but ts pronounced exactly like Pippi. I'd not want to be named that.

@WhenZoomWasJustAnIceLolly, they don't. Pippi isn't pronounced pee pee

It’s very close! The Welsh word for wee is pretty much indistinguishable from the way Pippi would be pronounced where I live. Possibly slightly more emphasis and elongation of the second ‘ee’ sound but the first ee is short, making it pretty much the same as Pippi. i in Welsh says ‘ee’, never i as in igloo. I guarantee schoolchildren would think it was the same in any case!!

I don't know where you are but where I grew up it was pi pi (pee pee) whereas Pippi rhymes with hippy. You wouldn' say Pippa as Pee Pa.

Pippi would probably be the butt of pee jokes in Wales though
