I've come to love
Philippa too. It took a while and the darling nn
Pippa helped out a lot. But in the end what convinced me was the light, airy, staccato quality of it. It's so much fun to say out loud. It's the same bouncy joy I get from
Winifred,
Hilary and
Cecily.
Sarah puts me to sleep, sorry. She's better than any made-up name. It's just that I'd prefer something else. How about:
Philippa InesPhilippa AlixPhilippa MarionPhilippa Leonie ("LEE-uh-nee" or "LAY-uh-nee")
Philippa TessPhilippa Charlotte (I love feminized male names together)
Philippa EugeniePhilippa SineadPhilippa WinterPhilippa Sonnet
Philippa MavisPhilippa LoisPhilippa Verity Philippa MarjoriePhilippa DamarisPhilippa LieslPhilippa Elodie
Thea PhilippaEleni PhilippaAstrid PhilippaIsla PhilippaAisling PhilippaLavinia PhilippaLaurentia Philippa ("lo-REN-shuh")
Margot PhilippaBianca PhilippaAstraea PhilippaElin PhilippaUrsula PhilippaTatiana PhilippaAnnelie Philippa
Some of these work the other way around too. Sorry for any repeats. Are there any that you like? Thanks.
