Pippin ? Pip ?

[joanne34]

For a boy ? I love Pip ? but the long version of that is Phillip, and thats just not us.... What do you think ?

"Ahhhhh no wonder why it's so bitchey here today.... full moon tomorrow.."

No, it's because Pip and Pippin are shite names.

Pip is fine.
If I met a grown man called Pippin I would probably piss myself, sorry.

It's really not bitchy to try to stop someone calling an adult man Pippin. It's an act of mercy.

It is rude and quite obviously bitchey to say it's a shite name !
If you don't like it, then just say that. Some of the posts on here are pathetic.

Thankyou everyone else for your constructive comments.

I never understand why people get upset about posting baby names here. joanne34 - you asked for opinions ... and you got them!

Cox's Orange Pippin - tis an apple.

It might be rude, joanne, but it's not bitchy!

It seems a bit silly to chose your child's name with the expectation that he is going to have certain personality traits or interests.

I can't imagine anyone who would thank you for Pippin mind you - apart from a bully looking for easy material. It just isn't a human name.

Anything beginning with 'P' could have Pip as a nickname.

Oh my goodness woman, reign those bloody hormones in... Be a bit sensible, call the baby Philip and Pip at home. Please do not saddle a grown man with a cutesy name - it really is a bad show.

And Pippin.... do you even have to ask?

Maybe get a hamster or three and get your naming strangeness out of the way before the baby arrives?

Pip is lovely & on my list for the next one, ignore these bad tempered posters. When your Pip is grown up he'll be from a generation of Frufru, Trixiebelle, Febreze Briquettes and his name will seem positively normal.

Pippin is not good though.

This is not a good thing

Joanne, you clearly don't read the baby name threads very often.

We may have been rude, pathetic and bitchy. However, we are posting what every other person will be thinking when they say out loud 'ooh that's different'.

We have tried to guide you towards alternatives but if you are that set on Pippin, go ahead, nowt to do with us.

Pip

No don't like.

Sounds like an annoying pompus character from the Famous Five.

Sorry.

And Pippin is like some Victorian beggar character from Charles Dickens.

NO NO NO NO NO.

Again sorry.

My baby boy has been ill and this morning was treated by a lovely FEMALE nurse called Pippin

"It is rude and quite obviously bitchey to say it's a shite name !"

No, it's offering my honest opinion. If you don't want opinions, don't ask. It would be rude and bitchy to say it about an actual child named that but this is not the case.

Thisn is why I dont' "get" baby name threads.

People ask for an opinion, and when they gat an honest answer they get upset.

If you like a name use it, and stop worying what everybody else thinks.

My Dad had a freind called Pip....as as child I thought it was ridiculous.

Oh, and I had a hamster called pip,(becuase his eyes were like apple pips) but he escaped after I'd had him about 2 weeks, and the cat got him. I named his replacement Nelson.

Aww Come Outside is going to be around forever. If she goes it'll be like Christmas without Morecambe and Wise, Only Fools and Horses, Dr Who etc. Cbeebies just would not be the same without the episode where she goes to a shit farm.

Look at my name - in honour of my pet bunny and shortened from Pippin - which is short for Cox's Orange Pippin ('cos he had orange fur).

Fine for a pet.

Not so good as the given name for anyone - boy or girl.

lol at this thread. pippin is not good. pip, tbh, is a bit wank as well, but tolerable.

A boy called Pipin would either end up like the boy called Sue, or a gay thespian.
