[Opinions] Re: Romilly
in reply to a message by Jodi
Wow! That is crazy that you have named your girls my fav names ever. I'm jealous I'm not having two and having to choose which one to use. Do you think it would be okay to drop Philippa and go strait for Pippa? What are their middle names? I know you will come up with something awesome for your third you are obviously good at this name thing.

I'll admit that I *loved* Pippa and only liked Philippa, but we gave her the full name just so she'd have options later on - she's only 2.5 now, so I don't know yet whether she'll ever want to go by Philippa, or Phil (gasp!) or Flip, but if she wants to, she can. I guess Pippa on its own wouldn't look flimsy on a resume the same way that Dave or Susie might, but in the UK, people would assume it is short for Philippa, and I guess I'm a bit of a traditionist that way anyway :) In the US, I'm sure just Pippa would be no problem at all, as most people really haven't heard of either name.Their full names are Philippa Violet and Romilly Alice, and both middle names are after family, though they also happened to be names that I love.
