HelpPhilippa, but...
in reply to a message by AG.
I also like Fiona very much. For me preferring one over the other would depend on the application.
Just as names I like Philippa a bit more; I'm into female names that are obviously feminized male names, and it totally fits the bill. It has a poppy, enthusiastic little sound to it. If someone was to ask about which I'd prefer for their actual child, though, I'd go with Fiona. It's a very sweet and likeable name without going overboard or being as, eh, maybe unwieldy as Philippa would be to bear for real. I don't even think I'd want to be a Philippa even though I really like it.
Fiona Catherine / Katherine is one of my "second string" favorites.
