Philippa
P is one of my favourite letters to begin a name and I had Agrippa on my mind a lot lately so when I found Philippa, it was bound to be my new obsession. It might also have to do with a Philippe I know, who is one of the most seductive people I've ever met...WDYT, any combo ideas? What nicknames can you think of? Pippa is cute but it can so easily bring sexual connotation to mind in my country...

Oh, Philippa Fleur is great. I love it, thanks! Phlipi is fun, it's the kind of nickname I could see an older brother using, it has something affectionately derisive in my mind.

I prefer Philomena and I nickname her Phil if tomboy-ish!

All in all, I think Phil's my favourite nickname - tomboy-ish or not! I realise I really like masculine nicknames, like Theo for Theodora, Phil for Philippa...

I like it quite a bit. One nickname could be "Lips." It's actually a German pet form of Philipp.

Pip is very cute but they certainly wouldn't work in France, and neither would Pippi, as "pipi" means pee. :/I love Philippa Giselle, I'm not usally fond of Giselle but there is something graceful about this combo, it makes me think of birds flying off. Thanks.

I like Philippa but prefer Filippa. I wouldn't use Pippa as a nn as it is a slang for "having sex with" here in Sweden. But I know some Filippa's. They usually go by just Filippa, but sometimes Flippan, Fillan etc. Maybe Phili?

Lol, in France it could be reminiscent of blow jobs I'm afraid. I like Phili.

Love it!I always liked the combo Philippa Rose...
I got mad at one of my friends once because he apparently once knew someone by that name and she ruined it for him, so he told me that he felt sorry for my future children.

If I had a daughter right now, I could totally name her Philippa Rose. And well as long as you don't intend to procreate with him, I really don't see why his opinion should affect you!
