I think it would be sweet for a Philip. switching maybe to Pip as they get older.

It's an awful name to give as a formal name, but great as a nickname.

I have a friend of a friend, 43ish yo guy called Pip. I assumed it was a nickname when I met him and his parents were LOTR fans, but nope! I really like it and it suits him too.
Pip is an established name for both men and women, starting as a short version of Philip/Philippa. Pippin isn't. Please don't inflict it on your child.

No. Just no.

Makes me think of a naughty pony. Probably a fat little Shetland.

TuvoknotSpock · 05/04/2021 20:11

Love it but wasn't brave enough to use

Thedogscollar · 05/04/2021 20:14

Truly awful.

I had a rabbit called Pippin! Sweet name for an animal, not so much a child.

IndecentFeminist · 05/04/2021 20:39

That's a pony.

NotATomato · 06/04/2021 22:01

It’s a name for a horse not a human.

MyLifeNow20 · 06/04/2021 22:12

my pony is called Pipkin! bit different to pippin though

Giraffey1 · 06/04/2021 22:14

It’s a name I associate with rabbits, animals in general and a hobbit. Never with a human being.

CHISistoast · 06/04/2021 22:16

Go for Pip, as in from Great Expectations.

PattyPan · 06/04/2021 22:17

Nice name for a horse or dog. Not for a human. Philip nn Pip?

AnnaSW1 · 06/04/2021 22:19

It makes me think it's what you'd name a pet

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 06/04/2021 22:21

We used to have guinea pigs called Pippin and Popsy when I was a child.

JeanClaudeVanDammit · 06/04/2021 22:26

Perfect for a rabbit. Best kept for a nickname for a human.
