Comments for the name Phillip

Phillip was widely used in England as a female name up to the 19th century. There are genealogical records of women called Phillip.

My brother's name is Phillip and it is a nice name in my opinion.

There are authors named Phillip DePoy and Phillip Margolin.

I much prefer this spelling to "Philip". It looks more complete with the two L's.

This name remains the same in contemporary Greek. It derives from the Greek words: ΦΙΛΟΣ-ΙΠΠΟΣ =friend of horse. Consequently the correct spelling is single l and double p.

Phillip Gallagher is one of the main characters in both the US and UK versions of the television series Shameless. He goes by Lip, which I think is an interesting alternative to Phil.

Phillip Halpert is the son of Jim and Pam on the NBC sitcom The Office.
