Phyllis and Phyllida

[jessaminej]

Wanted to gauge opinions I may also receive in the real world.
be nice

Vileda SuperMop

no like

Oh you said be nice

Yes, ok, Phyllis Railway Children - not bad. Abbreviated to Phyl, also ok, if a bit male.

Wouldn't choose it myself but not too bad, I've seen a lot worse on MN.

Phyllida sounds like an STD

chlamydia is much prettier

Think Syphillis (Sp?). Sorry, no to either. Phillipa? Pippa? Like Eirlys, but may be a bit welsh.

A combination of syphillis and chlymydia in fact- 2 for the price of one I will stop now...

Phyllis is on our baby name list, we're thinking Phillida as a safer alternative.

x posted, okay maybe Phyllida isn't any safer.

How about Philomena? Am pretty sure thats not the right spelling though

I like them not a jot

Phyllida reminds me of a horsey childrens book. I seem to remember liking the book though

don't like those, remind me of old lady names but Phillippa is nice.

Really sorry but Phyllida will definately be shortened to to the STD when in the teen years and knew a lovely old lady called Phyllis but not for a baby. Sorry!

They sound likes STIs - both of them. Sorry! x

Old lady names that are NOT due for a revival, IMO.

Sorry.

Phillipa nice, though. I know 2 under 5's with that name and they both suit it very well.

Dreadful I'm afraid, but Philippa is lovely.

Dreadful. Philippa is much better.

We had a Filiz at school (turkish I think). Phyllida Hawes in Rebus books is a bit two-faced/weak so has negative connotations for me. Philippa is lovely though...

My Grandma was Phyllis and she hated it she got called cyphyllis at school for one and she said everyone called her Phil which was manly. Sorry I don't usually dis peoples names (except a local Mum who called her kid Burberry) but she felt really strongly and as she died this year it's fresh in my mind.

I love the name Phyllis
I have met a beautyful little girl with the name and an equally lovely old lady a few years later.
I htink it's a pretty name
Phyllida...not so sure about, sorry!

Reminds me of Syphyllis I'm afraid.

She's right
if you use Phyllis, you will have to put chlamidia and ghonerrea in there too to make it far
