Pippa

[Bumbolina]

I like the name Pippa - but I'm not keen on Philippa. Can it be short for anything else? I'd quite happily just name the baby Pippa but my DH doesn't like it on its own - he thinks there should be a more formal name attached to it,

Maybe Penelope, it has the double p sound.

You do know about the colourful translations for Pippa in various other languages?

Yes I think Pippa is rude in about 5 languages! lol

No, it's short for Philippa.

Oh no I didn't realise that! Maybe I'll rethink

Yes if she goes to Greece, Turkey, Spain she'll have to use a different name.

Pippi is an incredibly rube slang word for penetrative sex in Swedish. I have such a hard time not laughing every time I hear about Pippa's lastest exploits!

My youngest is Pip, short for Piper -hated on here I think-
Strangely many of her classmates call her Pippa

Not relevant but I just wanted to share

Wasn't Pippi Longstocking Swedish!

Pippi not Pippa.

Astrid Lindgren's daughter came up with Pippi langstrumps name. I am not certain about the origins of Pippa.

FWIW I think Philippa is a beautiful name. Lots of nickname potential - Phil, Philly, Pip, Pippa but also sounds very sophisticated when used in full.

i am sure Pippa is slang for vagina in Polish

Hope she won't have any Polish friends...

haha hi-five fatherjack!

blowjob in Greek.

Sorry, i don't like it. It's too twee.

Hahaha, my dd whose name is Phillipa (Pippa/Pips)will be truly delighted when she visits these countries!

Yep - think its well and truly off my list now

Uri - don't really care if you like it or not, as that isn't what I asked. There will always be someone who hates the name!

Means 'wank' in Italian.

i love the name Pippa,

And Ive never heard of any of these rude connections. (uk based)

How has Pippa passed to be a perfectly acceptable name in the UK and yet is outrageously rude in so many languages?!

It is actually the Filthiest Name in The World.

It's worse than Titty or Fanny.

Phyllida. Although that usually shortens to Dilly.
