Reply to: Philip / Philippa by PantheraVirgo
I considered Philip for my son at one point, and I've been fond of Philippa since appearing as one in a play. Even the nickname Pip (and Pippin, Pippy & Pippa, as well) has personal significance to me.

I'm very turned off, however, by the hullabaloo around Pippa Middleton, the very existence of Dr. Phil, and the possibility that any Philip or Philippa of mine could end up a Phil at all, so I doubt I'll ever use either one unless it's as a middle name. I'd be very happy to see other people use the names, though.
