Re: Pippa

I don't like Pippa as a standalone--it's a little too young and perky--but I love it as a nn for Philippa.
I don't think the fact that it's Swedish slang for f--- is such a big deal, but it really would be better to have Philippa to fall back in case she travels to Sweden or works with Swedes. Yes, she could always be named Pippa and go by her middle name, but Pippa would still be on all of her documentation.
I'm just pro-Philippa, I guess. =) I've loved it since I played one in my 10th grade play, and I like how it would give a child so many more nn options than just Pippa.
