Re: Philippa & Isolde
Philippa similar if not identical to the full name of Kate Middleton's odious sister, "Pippa" and the fact that I heard about a Philippa (or possibly Pippa) who went to some part of Greece and found out to her horror that her name is a slang term for some kind of sexual act... it kind of buried Philippa for me. I've known some nice Philippas and it isn't tacky, but... eh... I just don't find it pretty.Isolde is lovely, though. And Izzy and Pip are adorable. Again, I agree Izzy Isolde is a nice alternative to various Isabelle variants and Pip is utterly charming.I dislike Ellen but it isn't over used, and I automatically find Louise a place-holder name, but if there are specific reasons, why not?All in all, the combo isn't tacky. I may not like Philippa, but they're pretty okay together, I think.
