Pip for a boy...

[itsazoohere]

Probably just hormonal, but have been calling my bump Pipsqueak, as it'll be the last of four. If I get too attached to it (the name, not the baby, obviously!), what could it be shortened from other than Phillip?
Although on hearing my explanation for Pip, dd1 has sworn to call it Runt....

Presumably Kip in the English patient was short for a Sikh name - but can't think of what it might be.
I am in agreement with seeker - not a man's name is it?

I have a Philippa who is known as Pippa. Nice to have the longer version for more formal stuff, so I would go for Philip and then just use Pip as a nickname.

Slinkie, yes I thought that, I don't remember seeing the full name in the book, and I thought someone on here might know. Kipp sounds nice, but they'd prolly get called kipper

DH best friend is called Pip (Peter is his real name).

Oh I don't know about it not being a man's name- my friend is definitely a man!

Kip- Christopher- could be! I quite like it.. may put it on my list....

See I too thought Kip was short for Christopher (I know Kit) but couldn't find it any where on t'internet.
