Thoughts on Philippa?

[CharlotteC77]

What do you think about the name Philippa? What does it say to you? Thanks!

[ilovechocolates]

I don’t like it as I know a Philippa in real life who’s very annoying

[Standardpubquizname]

Its a classy name, I think Phil or Pip make quite a cool nns rather than Pippa but its good to have options. I wouldn't have associated it with horses despite knowing the meaning. Josephine is beautiful too.

[daisypond]

I like it - classic and not too common. But I don't like the obvious short forms for it - Pippa, Philly, Pip, etc.

[Crunchymum]

It's on my list (due early Feb) but I'm not sure.

[PaperdollCartoon]

It’s lovely, so are Pip/Pippa.

[ilovepixie]

I like it. And pip is nice too.

[Buntysoven]

It's a very solid name to my ears. A bit clunky

[64BooLane]

I don’t know why but it makes me think of old armchairs covered in cabbage-rose chintz. So, probably a no from me

[WildRosesGrow]

Not keen on Phillipa personally, find it a bit spiky and would wonder if you had named her after Pippa Middleton.

How about Phyllida, Felicity, Felicia, Fiona?

I know an adult Philippa who is lovely and quite a hippy and not sloaney at all. She does love horses though....

[TaylorTinker]

A similar name to my mind is Antonia.

[PuppyMonkey]

Sorry, meant to say, sister changed the name to Emily.

[PuppyMonkey]

My sister went for Philippa for her youngest one but changed her minds when her other kids started calling the child Flipper.

[Bue]

Great name and Pippa/Pip are brilliant nicknames

[Ceesadoo]

Love Theodora but Phillipa isn’t my favourite.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

It's a beautiful, classy name.

[HelenaJustina]

I like it a lot, was on my lists

[Mulch]

Didn't dislike it but some of you guys ruined the name for me. What about

penelope
Eleanore
Lenorah
Felicity
Olympia
Alexandra
Sophia

[Awwlookatmybabyspider]

Its quite nice. I like Pippa for a nn, but not keen on Philly or Phil.
It's one of those names where I'd assume she was named after someone, though

[redexpat]

Dd was going to be philippa, but she just didnt look like one when she was born. I dont think its horsey.

[Needmorehands]

My Philippa is 5, and everyone comments on how cute she is (less cute to me now that sh knows she is and plays on it!) She is teh only Pippa we know

[Iamagenius]

I like Phillipa too!

[SandunesAndRainclouds]

I have a friend called Philippa, she always got fed up of being called 'Fill Up A.....' followed by some random weird insult.

[Courgettekatie]

I love Josephine, so many nicknames. I’d start with Posy and move on to Josie or Sephi.

Philippa itself may be a little dated but Pippa etc are very much in vogue
