Philippa has been growing on me. I thought it was a very awkward name, written or spoken, but it has a kind of energy to it that's appealing. I really dislike Pip and Pippa, though.
Philippa Iris is lovely (it's sharp and fresh and green), Daisy sounds flat and childish. I was going to suggest Philippa Rosamund but I definitely prefer Philippa Iris.
I'm really not sure about Penelope, it sounds like the name of a snob but I suppose that's a personal association. I prefer Penelope Beatrix to Penelope Iris.
