Winnifred is nmsaa.

I don't like Philip, but Philippa has recently sky-rocketed to be my very top favourite name for a girl at the moment surpassing even my very long time favourite Estella.
I just put a baby into a script of mine named Philippa Sorrel and often called Pippa. I love both Philipp and Pippa tremdously!!

---

Btw...my favourite sib-set with them at the moment is:
Estella "Stella"
Camilla "Calla"
Philippa "Pippa"

I don't care for those names. Philippa has the male Philip element too strong within it (I do like Phillip for a boy, though), Pippa is a nickname, and I don't like nicknames as formal names, and I just thought of a pimp, and Winnifred is a very ugly sounding name to me.

---

Now, I don't think the formal name should revolve around a nickname. You're just settling for the formal name Philippa, just to achieve the nickname Pippa. What is she doesn't like the nickname Pippa? Then you've just wasted time that could have been spent in finding the prefect formal name. Time and energy should he put into finding a formal name, and not a nickname. I say, if you don't like the formal name, but only the nickname, then scrap it all together. A formal name is forever - a nickname isn't.

I dont like either of them. Philippa makes me think of Philip which is a horrible name. Pippa just doesnt sound like a name to me. And Winnifred?? I hate it!

I find Pippa ridiculous, Philippa beautiful and Winnifred rather ugly...

Don't like them

Pippa is one of my favorites, eversince someone brought it up a while ago. I hate Philippa, so nix that. I would only use Pippa as a mn though.

---

I hate Winnifred. It sounds old, it has 'Fred' in it, and Winnie the Pooh. It's just extremly ugly sounding to me.

I love Phillipa, gorgeous, but Pippa is not a name for a person, imo

---

Winifred is ok, not a I really like, however, I love the nn Winnie (and Wynn), of course people may think of Winnie the Pooh, but I don't think that's really going to be a problem

I love the Name Phillipa but Im not sure about Winnifred I hate that name

I love Pippa as a nickname for Phillipa / Philippa (can't make up my mind which spelling I prefer!). This has been in and out of my top 10 for the past year or so.

---

I don't like the spelling Winnifred so much, but I do like Winifred a lot (not sure I'd use it myself but I like the sound and *love* the meaning).

---

I don't think Winnie the Pooh is an association to be too worried about - by all accounts, most kids think he's pretty cool! :-D
