Philip

Classic, I like it!

What a strong, classy name. It sounds very handsome and regal. It ages flawlessly. It would also be a perfect name for a jockey. Overall, I think Philip is a wonderful name.

Strong, classic, handsome, so versatile, distinguished and masculine that can't go wrong with any age grouped male. Doesn't matter whether he is teenager, middle aged working business men and uncle and grandpa etc. I do LOVE classic names like this just like others LOVE trendy names... it's also one of the timeless Masculine names that I have a crush on and also have several with great meaning like horse lover... not to mention its NOT overused...

I think of Philip as an underused classic that has yet to reach a contemporary height of popularity as some other classics have done in recent years. I think of Philip as a respectable moniker that has been notably present amidst a plethora of noteworthy individuals of historical importance. Furthermore, I have always had an inclination towards liking this name for the aforementioned reasons I have put forth in the previous sentences of this comment.

Philip is a name that carries great responsibility for whoever is given the name.

Yet, I myself would not use this name in a first or second position, only as the third name.

Stronger and more handsome than Phillip. I love Philippe, Philipp, and Felipe too.

In my immediate family there are lots of Philips and it does get very confusing at times so that we resort to using middle names when talking to each other. Lol.

Boring and old fashioned name.

My name is Philip and I can't stress enough on how happy I am to be a bearer of this name. One aspect that I do like about having this name is how uncommon it is, but at the same time how it is considered a classic name that never really goes out of style. A good name over all in my opinion.

Gotta love the meaning of this name.

This is such a handsome, classic name that should be used a whole lot more. I don't really like the nickname "Phil" though.

Straight forward and strong: Philip is an awesome name; NOT PHILLIP!

I think the nickname "Lip" is cool... Philip is a great name because it is classic and does not sound silly or outdated. Anyone of any age can be called this, and there are many nicknames. Lip is just my favorite, but besides that, there is Phil, Pip, Hill (I knew a kid in my middle school called this)... you can really be creative.

I think of an old man when I think of this name.

Cute, classic name.

Being named after that racist, sociopathic, geriatric snob Prince Philip; though my mother spelt it Phillip, I like my name.

When I was born in 1950 he was the handsome prince married to our young princess. I suppose I'm glad I wasn't born a girl because in Australia you were called either Lynne or Sue at that time.

This is Anthony Hopkins's real name.

Old-fashioned and ugly, and it's the name of that racist sociopathic geriatric snob Prince Philip.

A very strong, classic, handsome name steeped in history.
I'd rather this name than Braxton and Jackson and the -aydons any day!
I love Philip but detest Phil.
Pip would be my choice of nickname - it's rather reminiscent of Kit for Christopher instead of Chris.
In Australia Philip and Philippa are often - perhaps more often than not - spelled Phillip and Phillipa. I hate those spellings. I think the double L connection may be due to the fact that the First Fleet, which arrived in Australia in 1788 with troops and convicts aboard, was commanded by Captain Arthur Phillip, for whom Port Phillip Bay here is named.

Philip is a wonderful, handsome name. A real classic. Xx :)

I like this spelling a lot better than "Phillip". Phillip just looks too crowded..

If I were to name my son Phillip I'd probably call him Philo (FIE-lo) for short, and he's have a sister called Sophia (Sophy). Then maybe they could open a place of business together and call it "Philo & Sophy". I'm getting carried away. I'm not a huge fan of horses, I should mention. Cute name, though. :)

I love this name. It's masculine and classic. I only know a couple people with it, and they go by Phil, which I don't like nearly as much. It is my number one name to use on a baby boy if I ever have one, but unfortunately it may not be so easy to convince my husband -__-

I love this name. So strong and masculine. But the nickname Phil... ugh!

Great meaning!

What a cute, adorable, cool name.

What a nice meaning! Friend of horses. I don't really like the name itself though.

I think it's a very stable and honest name. There are plenty of the famous bearers like 5 kings of Macedon, one of them is a father of Alexander the Great. There also have been 6 kings of France called Philippe and several dukes of Spain.

I like this name, though it's my dad's. I would absolutely love to see it on a little boy. Personally, I think it fits younger people best. Especially the nickname "Pip".

My late father's name was Philip and he hated it! He used the nickname Jesse instead - because our last name is James. My mother was going to name me after him - Philip if I was a boy and Phylis - thank godness my father told her NO WAY! The name isn't that bad but it just reminds me of an older guy, in his 60's or 80's.

I don't know why the name Philip reminds me of a boy who likes to horserace. In a story (sorry, don't remember the name! It's my friend's story she's writing it) there are two Philip's, one is named Philip Claudius Winters, he's a 12-year-old, he's not too smart, but hey, everyone loves him for some reason. And the other is Philip Vargas (Uncle Felipe, he's obviously older). I've never liked the name but it's ok. Reminds me of Phillips.
