WDYTO Philip?
Philip is my father's name. I was thinking, it might be nice to name a boy after him, since he's a great man, but I'm not sure. Would Philip be better as a first or middle name?

I love Philip! It's great as either a fn or mn. Your dad would be so proud.

I love, love, love Philip. I'm not having anymore children, but if I had a son he would be called Philip.

I think Philip is a nice classic. I really like the nn Phil...probably since the root phil- means love. I just automatically think of the meaning when I hear the name. If you wanted a wackier nn, you could go with Philo (fye-lo), which I love...even more than Phil. So spunky.

It's quite nice, especially as a mn, and the honoring would be sweet. I do adore Philippa for a girl. :)
