The guy serving in the US House of Representatives for my district goes by Chip. His first name actually is Charles. Maybe it's because I don't care for his politics that I can't stand Chip. It seems ridiculously childish for a grown man to use.

I have a cousin called this. It is a nickname for him (James III), but he's over 30, and I've never heard anyone call him James.

It sounds a bit like Chay-up or Chee-ip in his dad's accent.

I think it's like Trey and Blake, but a little sillier. Works fine to call someone, though. I prefer it to Tripp, Flip, Chad, Chuck...

It’s bearable as a nickname but ridiculous as a full name, you might as well be naming a child “French Fry”.

a dog name or a little kid name
not for an adult

Dont like it

I wouldn't use this but it is very cool! It sounds fun and bouncy.

I see Chip as a synonym for Junior, so it's got some preppy charm for me. It seems kind of brutish in that spoiled rich-boy who gets whatever he wants, but it also has a strong Norman Rockwell dark-suburban vibe for me. It's a powerful little name!

Chip always reminds me of an upper class snobby man at a country club in a white tennis outfit and shorty shorts, sipping a martini. Like a stereotype of a rich guy.

Only of his brother if Fish.

Bleh.

Even as a nn I think it's dumb. It just sits there like a scruffy piece of Kleenex somebody stuck in a book they're not really interested in to mark their place because they've got nothing else to read and the Kleenex was the only thing close to hand.

Not a fan as a given name for a human being.
