Philippe

In medieval times, Philippe was also used as a feminine given name in French (as the French form of Philippa), alongside Philippine. However, Philippe is a masculine given name today. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Masculine" to "Masculine & Feminine"; and the "Meaning & History" section of this name should be updated to read, "French form of Philip. In medieval times, Philippe was also the French form of Philippa."

I know a boy named Philippe and he pronounces his name like "Phillip". He is also German, not French. I'm not sure if France is the only type of origin for this name.

I think that the French way to spell Phillip is a little annoying and it seems like the parents are trying too hard. And if you are going to have your name spelled "Philippe" PLEASE pronounce it the correct way!
