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.
