Philippa. Fiona's a made-up literary name (albeit one with a plausible entymology) and has been used for decades by every other person with the merest hint of Scottish ancestry. It's pretty, but overused, and a tad jaded.
Philippa, on the other hand, is less used and therefore fresher. It was the name of a medieval queen of England and has a long history and genuine entymology.
"Lover of horses" is an appealing meaning.
Pippa is a sweet nn for a Philippa.
