Lovely name for a dog. Auntie Mabel and Pippin.

paperandfireworks · 04/04/2021 23:25

I'll second that, delightful for a dog.

grapewine · 04/04/2021 23:26

Isn't it a Hobbit character? It has a nickname vibe to me, sorry.

RiaOverTheRainbow · 04/04/2021 23:26

It's a cute nickname, and I think you could use it for most P names, but I really wouldn't give it as a full name.

Macaroni46 · 04/04/2021 23:26

I thought it was a type of apple

Biscuitburglar · 04/04/2021 23:27

I thought it was a variety of apple?

KitKatKit · 04/04/2021 23:27

God no.

Yes, this. Fgs don't Hmm
Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/04/2021 23:28

For a girl I'd say yes as I love twee names ill freely hold my hands up, but I'd say it's far too cutesy for a,boy, sorry. Philip nn Pip would be okay

STARmyarse · 04/04/2021 23:28

Look up, look down, look all around.
Can’t not think of Auntie Mabel. Sorry!

Angel2702 · 04/04/2021 23:30

Yes definitely thought of Pippin the dog. I cannot imagine a grown man called Pippin.

Gazelda · 04/04/2021 23:30

Auntie Mabel and Pippin. Loved that so much.
Sorry OP, anyone over the age of 40 will think of a dog.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 04/04/2021 23:30

Nice dogs name (including the one who came to an unfortunate end in Jaws). I wouldn't use it for a child. Would you consider Peter, nn Pip?

STARmyarse · 04/04/2021 23:31

A child as well behaved as that Pippin would be ideal though!

Pebbledashery · 04/04/2021 23:31

Definitely reminds me of a dogs name.. I wouldn't..

Pebbledashery · 04/04/2021 23:32

Also reminds me of.

I also thought of Pippin and Auntie Mabel. And now I have the theme tune in my head.

Though when I watched a repeat about 15 years ago, I enjoyed the nostalgia of seeing them visit Safeway. I think it was the bread episode.

GreyhoundG1rl · 04/04/2021 23:35

Do you remember the one where they went into the sewers to see where the poo goes? 😂. Very strange episode

Synchrony · 04/04/2021 23:36

A bit cutesy. It makes me think of Pippin the son of Charlemagne and the musical.

crumpet · 04/04/2021 23:37

Philip. Then a nickname.

HarkAVagrant · 04/04/2021 23:37

Even the hobbit had it as a nickname. Wasn’t he Peregrine really?

Tamingofthehamster · 04/04/2021 23:38

Pony name for me.

ShesMadeATwatOfMePam · 04/04/2021 23:40

Great for a dog or a hobbit.

WallaceinAnderland · 04/04/2021 23:41

I know a 6 year old girl called Pippin!
