Constance or Pippa?

Constance (Connie) or Pippa (Pip)?

Interested in others opinions… we aren’t keen on Phillipa, so Pippa would be the full name. We genuinely love them both and can’t pick a favourite.

You can’t always control a nickname, though. They can be pretty organic.
I have a very run of the mill name, that begins with a J, and i was called Jids, or Jidsa Woman.

I don’t know what it means either! 🤷🏻‍♀️

we aren’t keen on Phillipa It's Philippa. Pip is a bit twee but I like Philippa.
Not so keen on Pippa.

Connie short for Constance is nice.

I like both, but Constance edges it for me.

Pippa!

I prefer Constance / Connie. Pippa to me is so dated. Classic 70s Pony Club name.

Dislike Constance after that woman in the news recently but I really like Connie and Pippa shortened from Philippa. Connie reminds me of Talia Shire in the Godfather and I know an absolutely lovely Phil irl!

So google what the names mean - it may impact your decision- dramatically

Love Connie 💕

Personally I like Constantina

Pippa

I like Constance (Connie)

I’m afraid I think Connie is a really ugly name. Pippa is the better of the two.

Constance nn Connie

Pippa

I really like both but prefer Pippa as I'm not so keen on Connie

With these type of name Qs I always ask myself what I'd be happy to have as a name, as an adult woman. Constance wins hands down over Pippa.

Aww thanks everyone! We’ve decided to go for Pippa, we really love it! 🥰 we’re not bothered about the meaning in other languages, we hadn’t really heard of any it before mumsnet and we’re English living in England where (we think) Pippa is a lovey name 😀 thanks for all your opinions!

Aww Pippa is gorgeous 🥰 I love it!!! Thanks so much for the update!

Phillipa is the wrong spelling.

Philippa is lovely. Nick name Pip or Pippa.

I know a Philippa Adeline, which is a gorgeous combination of traditional names.

I'd have Philippa on the birth certificate but call her Pip in daily life as it'll give options when she's an adult.

Philippa Adeline, which is a gorgeous combination of traditional names.
It's not gorgeous.

I love a virtue name like Constance or Honour (DH vetoed both!). Connie is sweet I think.

Philippa is nice but quite 80s imo! I think Pippa just reminds me of Pippa Middleton (who I have nothing against).

Love pippa

This. I love the name Pippa personally but I think it is actually a rude term in quite a few languages

Have you considered Nina? Similar vibe

Or Alexandra (day to day Alex) also giving me similar classic but short and sweet vibes
