I suppose it's the image of Pippa Middleton. A socialite from a self-made family, and now sister in law of a future king. I suppose she has a real job and more in her life than what gets her into the papers, but the media seems to focus on her hanging out with her friends and on the red carpet and charity events.
Pippa Penelope sounds like Peter Piper's sister who also picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Yeah, Pippa but that's the person and not the name. Does her having it automatically make the name posh too? Would Pippa (the name) still be posh if Middleton did not have it?

Yes.
Pippa is not a name that is used often or even sometimes in the US, and from what I understand, even in the UK it's most common on upper-class people. Pippa Middleton is probably the only Pippa most Americans have ever heard of as a real person, and it's not so much that the name is posh because of her, rather her name fits her perfectly.

Like Mirfak said, the only image I have of the name is Pippa Middleton, who is posh, so my image of the name is posh.

Yeah, it kinda does automatically make it sound "posh" or snooty. I've never heard of any other Pippas, so she makes the whole image I have of the name (well, her and the Swedish terminology). To my mediocre-American ears, Pippa sounds excessively precious and British and comes off roughly as "posh" because of that, too. Like Jonty for a boy.
Sometimes when people give their opinions they say "That name is ____" and what they really mean is "I think that name sounds ____." It's up to you to understand that it's an opinion and not a declaration of fact that has to be supported.
