Comments for the name Pippa

This is an adorable name for a girl.

I blush every time I see this name. In Swedish it's a four-letter word. I don't want to say what it means.

I don't really like this name. I find it a little hard to pronounce for some reason (?).

It's okay if you're a fairy.

Pippa Cross is the name of a beautiful character in Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty. Pippa is vain and empty headed, but I like the name anyway.

I only know the name from A Great And Terrible Beauty (mentioned above) and its sequal, Rebel Angels. I don't think that the character is completely vain or completely empty headed. She's actually quite a confusing character and is made more so in the sequel. Really, I don't know what to think of the name or the character, though I suppose it could be cute for a little girl.

I'm from Australia and Pippa is just a name, not a nickname. It's so cute!

This is the coolest name ever!

It's really cute!

This is a pretty name. I think it works best as a nickname.

This name is awfully, disgustingly, brutally cute. I would definitely name my child this!

On everything girl.com Pippa is the host ♥

In the 1980s on the tv sitcom "The Facts of Life" there was a character from Australia named Pippa McKenna, played by Sherrie Krenn. Having grown up watching that show, the name Pippa seems very "Australian" to me. :b

Pippa Funnell is an amazing Three Day Event rider. She has won the Badminton Horse Trials three times, and has placed in the Olympics three times as well.

Personally, I think this is a beautiful name for a girl. If I ever have a daughter, I am going to name her Pippa.

Pippa is a vulgular word for having sex in Swedish.

I love the name Pippa! It's so amazingly adorable! It makes me think of a beautiful redheaded woman. In a story I am working on, the main character's name is Pippa, and yes, she is beautiful and redheaded. Pippa is a wonderful name!

Pippa is the name of a mouse in an old children's book (possibly more, but I've never seen them).

That's not too cool that Pippa is a vulgar word for sex in Swedish. But putting that aside I love the name. I never heard of it until I read A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. The character was ok. When I first read the book I didn't like her. Too hopeless romantic for me. But when I reread the book a couple years later she grew on me and I saw more than that in her.

It reminds me of the girl in "A Great and Terrible Beauty," of whom I am not particularly fond. It's a nice name, though, but you'll be quick to outgrow it once you reach your sixth birthday. That's my opinion, anyway.

I think Pippa is really nice, but only as a nickname.

I always think of the Swedish slang Pippa, meaning "having sex with". But also Pippi Långstrump (Pippi Longstocking).

While I can understand the attraction of the sweet-sounding Pippa, I'd advise against using it as a full name. It will not be well received everywhere.

I like this name, it's very sweet for a girl. I think better as a name than pet name because for me, Philippa is a bit dull.
I'm undecided if it's too cutesy because like Mollie, Daisy etc it's cute for a kid but one day she's gonna be 40!

Do not use this name on your child, it is the Swedish verb meaning "to have sex" but not in a nice way. :(

I can't stand this nickname. It sounds very silly and childish. Philippa is a nice name, though. Too bad it has an awful English nickname.

I love the name Philippa and this is the perfect nickname!

Pippa Rede, main character from "In The Land of Winter".

It's okay, all of the douple-P names (Pippa, Piper, Pippin) pack a punch when said, and I always think of a really energetic redhead with more energy than brains.

OMG! In Poland pipa is a derogatory name for vagina. Mostly used metaphorically, applied to people as an insult.

Pippa Black is an Australian actress. She plays Tonya in the NBC series "Outsourced."

Pippa Middleton, the sister of the newly-crowned Princess Kate.

I just found out that "Pippa" is also Italian for masturbation. Not exactly an appealing reference for your little girl... might be better to stick with Philippa as a full name and to use Pippa as her nickname.

When I first heard of the name Pippa, I thought it sounded sort of vulgar. So I looked it up. As it turns out, it's Swedish slang for "to have sexual intercourse," and is also Italian for a) "hand job" or b) "to snort cocaine." Not good.

Pippa Scott (born 1935 in New York City) is an American actress.

In Swedish "pippa" is slang for having sex, so it would not be a good name in Sweden. Otherwise, I guess it could be a cute nick for Philippa.

Pippa is a vulgar word for masturbation in italian.

I'm afraid this is going to be very overused because of the attention the Middletons have been getting. And the whole Swedish thing really made me hate it! Plus it's too cutesy for a grown woman. Philippa is okay, but I'm not that excited by it. I prefer the form Felipa, which is the name of two of my friends.
