A Pippin is an apple grown from a seed, as opposed to a graft. Named varieties are usually grown from grafts. When you grow an apple from a seed, you are taking a chance. It might be great or it might be awful!
How cool is this name? Ancient Germanic AND from Lord of the Rings! *does a victory dance*... And I agree with the other poster: Pippin can SO definitely be pulled off as a feminine name. :)

I actually have a female friend called Pippin and we all ( we being my friends and family) find it quite sweet and charming.
