Wow, the parents obviously like the p sound. I think it's pretty bad and unfortunately, pretty funny.

It seems like it's trying too hard and there is way too much P. I really dislike it.

I think there's way too many P's.

Well, I'd rather it was Philippa Penelope, or even Penelope Pippa, because ever since I learned Pippa means "to f*ck" or something in Swedish I can't see it the same way anymore. But I like the storybook quality of the combo, even the cutesiness. I dreamed up the combo of Molly Morrigan the other day and thought it was charmingly fairytale-esque the same way.

it is gross ...
It's drowning in P=ee. Pippa is obnoxiously posh and silly on its own, and Penelope sounds like a Muppet. They sound ridiculous together, and in fact, I can see Pippa as a cutesy nn for Penelope.

How is Pippa posh?

It sounds like some rich, horsey British prep school graduate who is always showing up to society functions and wearing bizarre hats and all she has to do is play tennis, ride horses and drink champagne.

Would you think the same if it weren't for Pippa Middleton?
1
I could drink champagne and ride a horse, a little bit, but couldn't play tennis. Badminton, though, I could play.

I suppose it's the image of Pippa Middleton. A socialite from a self-made family, and now sister in law of a future king. I suppose she has a real job and more in her life than what gets her into the papers, but the media seems to focus on her hanging out with her friends and on the red carpet and charity events.
Pippa Penelope sounds like Peter Piper's sister who also picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Yeah, Pippa but that's the person and not the name. Does her having it automatically make the name posh too? Would Pippa (the name) still be posh if Middleton did not have it?
1
Yes.
Pippa is not a name that is used often or even sometimes in the US, and from what I understand, even in the UK it's most common on upper-class people. Pippa Middleton is probably the only Pippa most Americans have ever heard of as a real person, and it's not so much that the name is posh because of her, rather her name fits her perfectly.

Like Mirfak said, the only image I have of the name is Pippa Middleton, who is posh, so my image of the name is posh.

Yeah, it kinda does automatically make it sound "posh" or snooty. I've never heard of any other Pippas, so she makes the whole image I have of the name (well, her and the Swedish terminology). To my mediocre-American ears, Pippa sounds excessively precious and British and comes off roughly as "posh" because of that, too. Like Jonty for a boy.
Sometimes when people give their opinions they say "That name is ____" and what they really mean is "I think that name sounds ____." It's up to you to understand that it's an opinion and not a declaration of fact that has to be supported.

Too many Ps for one name.
Not a fan of it either.
