Thoughts on Philippa?

[CharlotteC77]

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

[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

[Mulch]

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

penelope
Eleanore
Lenorah
Felicity
Olympia
Alexandra
Sophia

[HelenaJustina]

I like it a lot, was on my lists

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

It's a beautiful, classy name.

[Ceesadoo]

Love Theodora but Phillipa isn’t my favourite.

[Bue]

Great name and Pippa/Pip are brilliant nicknames

[PuppyMonkey]

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

[PuppyMonkey]

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

[TaylorTinker]

A similar name to my mind is Antonia.

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

[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?

[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

[Buntysoven]

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

[ilovepixie]

I like it. And pip is nice too.

[PaperdollCartoon]

It’s lovely, so are Pip/Pippa.

[Crunchymum]

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

[daisypond]

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

[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.

[ilovechocolates]

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