HelpRe: Filip/Philip names
in reply to a message by A
I love Philip but detest Phil. I love Philippa nn Pippa as well.
In Australia Philip and Philippa are often - perhaps more often than not - spelled Phillip and Phillipa. I hate those spellings. I think the double L craze here may be due to the fact that the First Fleet, which arrived in Australia in 1788 with troops and convicts aboard, was commanded by Captain Arthur Phillip, for whom Port Phillip Bay here is named.
