Help[Opinions] Re: Feminine forms of Phil
in reply to a message by vigdis
I dislike Phyllis; not its fault that it sounds like the Afrikaans word for garbage, but it does.
Phyllda? Phyllida, surely? Anyway, it's better than Phyllis but still not good.
Philomena in my experience is used by Catholic and Orthodox families. Which is fine; I don't like the rhythm or the sound.
Phillipa is a spelling error which destroys the name's meaning. I love Philippa and would gladly use it; Phil and Pippa are excellent nns.
