Comments for the name Filip

In 15th-century Bulgarian legend, the name "Filip" connoted a man who had the gift of prophesy. Common techniques included the spinning of dogs to indicate prosperity or misfortune.

At the risk of spamming the board, I *have* to comment on the comment about the 15-century man who spinned dogs: What?!?

I've never liked this name spelled with an "F" especially for a boy. It looks girlish (like Filipa) to me if it's spelled "Filip." Philip is a much better spelling and looks more masculine.

In Romanian I think it is Fi-LIP.
