Pippa + P surname, awesome alliteration or a bit OTT?

[Tobermory]

We like Pippa but not Phillipa so would be Pippa on BC. However our surname begins with P.

Too many p's?

am not bothered about matching initials, it sometimes sounds great!

Love it, go for it.

As long as your surname isn't Pepper, I think it's cool. We have a double P dd .

I love illiterative names. Go for it.

Ooh I like very much

I beg to differ... sorry.

Imagining a surname beginning with "P" - say Parsons - Pippa Parsons. Makes me think of p-p-p-pick up a penguin. Phillipa doesn't sound too bad though. (Should admit here, though, that I am no fan of alliterative names. JMO ).

I think that Pippa is one of those great names that works alliteratively.

gosh you know I have to confess the first thing I thought when I saw the thread title was

"pepper pig" (I know it's Pippa you've said not Pepper)

I went off the name Pippa when I found out it meant wank in Italian I think it was

My name was illiterative until I got married and it never really bothered me (until I got a brace and slurred my S's for a while!!). I agree with scarletilybug though that the P's sound a bit like a biscuit advert...

I think it will be fine.

If we have another boy it will be a W W

Think William Wallace, William Wordsworth along those sort of lines.

Some people love it, some people hate it.

Oh and my surname isn't Wolfblass as my talk nn may suggest?

I'm usually a fan of alliteration, but I think Pippa P.... is a little too close to Peppa Pig for my liking.

Oh and just to add - a friend of mine's surname (well her OH's) is Parsely and she liked Pippa and Penny but thought they sounded like cartoon characters

so aslong as it's not something like

Pippa Parsley or Pippa Peanut, it will be lovely i am sure x

Love Pippa, Love alliteration!

Philippa Press (e.g.) sounds fine (know you don't like Philippa though)

Pamela Press would also be fine.

Pippa Press is too much like Peppa Pig/ Peter Piper picks a peck of ipckled peppers. It's not the initial P sounds, its the compounding of this with interior P sounds as well.

I thought Peppa Pig too.

Yes. Don't use it.

Love it, Go for it

DD1 has a PP name
If you like it go for it after all its your child

Depends on name

pippa prendergast works
pippa pegman not so much
