Re: Augusta vs. Philippa
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
Philippa is a common name in the UK, it wouldn't raise an eyebrow. Augusta would, it's heavy and sounds uncomfortable. I would hate to be called Gus or Gussie.
The Philippa's I know IRL are:
Philippa Zoe
Philippa Jane
Philippa Jasmin
Philippa Louise
Philippa Freya
Philippa Marie
I would go for:
Philippa Mary
Philippa Robin
Philippa Judith
Philippa Rosemary
Philippa Ruby
Philippa Miranda
The Philippa's I know IRL are:
