That's it really - would you say the name Pip is more a girls name or a boys name? Thanks!

I'd think boy - short for Philip.

LimpidPools · 29/10/2017 10:21

Definitely a boys name - would assume short for Philip.

Girls are Pippa.

Boy. I know a few Pips, all boys and men

Boy. A girl would be Pippa.

Boy. I used to go to school with a lad and this was his nickname

My cousin Phillip was shortened to Pip as a child. Not sure about now. He's in his 20's.

Very small boy.

Boy. I'd think dog first though.

Boy, although the only Pip I know is a woman.

Girl

MerryMarigold · 29/10/2017 10:26

Either. I wouldn't know till it was clarified

BewareOfDragons · 29/10/2017 10:27

I would assume Girl.

dramallamakarma · 29/10/2017 10:27

Girl (Pippa) or dog (sorry)

CountFosco · 29/10/2017 10:28

I've only known female Pips, short for Philippa.

Either. I've known both.
