I was really stuck on Pippin nn Pip for a while, because of the Pippins and the Karls in the Carolingian dynasty around the time of Charlemagne's birth. I think of kings. Then I tried to imagine Pip on anyone I knew. My friend Jordan? Ridiculous. My orchestra director Robin (m)? Ridiculous. My theater professor Paul? ... Definitely not as ridiculous. My old history teacher? Entirely ridiculous. With reluctance I crossed it off my shortlist. I can't quite get into Philip, I wish I could. I really like Philip Oswald, a funny little name to go with another funny little name. I toyed with Pippin RUdolf, if Philip Rudolf interests you at all.

Berenice I am never sure about. It is Bare-and-icy in my only Berenice combo, Julia Berenice. There is something more dashing about Bare and eetchay though. Chichi's adorable. (I call my dog Che chichi all the time so that might explain why I think that)

Eos I tried to like and couldn't. Happens with a lot of mythology names.
