My name is Pippin. Well, actually, it's not my legal name, but it's what I make everyone call me. I chose to make this my name for several reasons. Mostly I chose it because of Pippin from Lord of the Rings (I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan). But I also chose of it because of Pippin apples, and also, I read in the dictionary that "pippin" is an archaic word meaning a brilliant thing or idea. That meaning really applies to me. And I don't think that Pippin is just a boy's name. I'm a girl, and nobody I know who hasn't read Lord of the Rings thinks it's weird. I think it's somewhat feminine because a Pippin is a kind of apple, and most names that refer to fruit are feminine.
