Comments for FIFI:

Fifi - ugh! It's the sort of name people give fluffly little lapdogs that look like rats.

Consider your child's future. Please.

This is cute as a nickname for Josephine, but not cute as its own name.

My mum's name is Fiona and she gets Fi Fi.

You know this name was a human name way before some people decided to make it a name for their dogs - but somehow I don't think French people or those from francophones will have that strong a connection. Though I could be wrong. However I think it is very cute as a nickname.

This can also be a nickname for Sophie.

My little sister loves the show Fifi and the Flowertots. The main character is called Fifi Forget-me-not. (Guess what flower she is!)

I know French people who are called Fifi as a short form of "Fabienne".

It's a good name for a pet. For a human? I don't think so.

I have a friend named Phylica, we call her Fifi.

Fifinka is female dog from animated comics "Quarterfoil".

Given the general reaction from most people towards this name, needless to say this isn't my favorite pet form of Josephine.

Utterly silly and immature, even as a nickname. There is no way any woman named Fifi could be taken seriously. People would think she's ditzy simply for not changing her ridiculous name.

My sister's name is Sophie and we call her Fifi. Never in public of course! ;P

This is the kind of name you give to a spoiled lapdog, not your child.

My daughter is named Philippa, and somehow she became known as Fifi. I'm not sure how this came about. It wasn't planned this way. I think I started calling her "Fifi" affectionately when she was very small, because neither I nor my husband liked the nickname "Phil". Fifi (my 16 year old) doesn't mind the name, and actually prefers it to "Philippa", which I think is beautiful. Objectively, I agree, though, that the name sounds cutesy and infantile. But it's not strictly a name for animals!

Sounds like a good name for a poodle.

A good name for a cat, but terrible for a human.

My niece, 3 years old, is named Sophia. She gave herself the nickname Fifi when she started talking. At first I thought it sounded a little silly and funny, but especially since my daughter, also 3, took right to calling her that, we do all the time, so it sounds normal to me now.
