Betsy, Delilah or Pippa

[Mummytobe0920]

DP and I are struggling to agree on a name. These are the favourites so far. Which do you prefer?

Also open to any other suggestions

I'm not keen on Betsy, it sounds a bit like a pet name, I like the other 2 though

I don,t like shorten versions so not Betsly and pippa. (Yes to Elizebeth or Phillipa.) I knew a very sweet girl called Delilah it,s quite popular at present but Delilah in the Bible isn,t a nice person so not keen on that either.

Pippa.

Or second choice Betsy.

I don't like Delilah.

I like Delilah, despite the biblical connotations and the song.

Pippa is apparently very rude in several European languages so I'd give that one a swerve, tbh.

I dislike Betsy, it's too cutesy and twee for me.

Pippa is my favourite of those but is slang for penis in Greece. Or Italy. Whichever, I'd give birth certificate name as Philippa for that reason.

Thank you all for your input.

@DramaAlpaca @MilkTwoSugarsThanks I wasn’t aware of that so that’s helped make the decision easier.

Not 100% on a name so far so I’ll keep looking. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Betsy or Delilah are both lovely
Not Pippa - no way!

They've all yuck to me sorry

I like Philippa and Elizabeth . I can't shake negative connotations with Delilah. I'm not particularly keen on Betsy as a nickname as it is a bit cutesy to my ear so would opt for Philippa.

Delilah. Betsy and Pippa are better as nicknames.

Betsy.

Penny. Annie. Marcie. Josie. Rosie. Bonnie. Rita. Nancy. Vera. Poppy. Iris

Not keen on any of them, I like all of aww's suggestions.

I love Pippa. Betsy is okay but prefer it as a nicknmae.

I really dislike Delilah. Lilah is much nicer.

I have a Philippa who is Pip or Pippa. My DH overruled me on Delilah (comes under the heading of 'Biblical Whores' which is a whole thing apparently, I've never read the bible) and Betsey was the name of my Granny's dog who used to wee in our shoes. So obviously Pippa.

My friends little girl is called Pippa, she's adorable 😍

Pippa, maybe short for Philippa, or
Betsy, short for Elizabeth, are both nice.

I don't like Delilah at all.

I love them all but if I had to choose I'd go for Delilah.

Betsy and Pippa sound like nicknames- nothing wrong with that of course!

I like Delilah.

My DC 2 is called Betsan. it's a welsh girls name. we call her betsy or Betty boo as a nickname.

the English equivalent is Elizabeth or Betty.

Betsy, but short for Elizabeth.

Delilah is too hipstery, and the Biblical character isn't great.

Pippa is just not a pleasant sound. And, as other posters have said, it's rude in other languages.

Showing my age here but Pippa makes me think of this...

Delilah is lovely, Betsy is ok- better than Pippa.

Betsy is sweet and cool.
Delilah probably get shortened to Lila so I'm not keen. Not as friendly as Betsy.
Pippa I quite like after I force self to forget Middleton association.

1.Pippa - Philippa on the birth certificate
