Help[Opinions] Re: Philippa
in reply to a message by Lily8
Freakonomics listed this as one of their predicted top US name in the year 2015 (I think they did their predictions in 2005). I used to know the link but have since forgotten it. I guess only time will tell if their predictions come true. I could see some of their predictions coming true, like Phoebe and Fiona, but not others like Waverly. And they failed to mention some other names that I see rising in popularity like Lucy and Stella
I can see the appeal because of the nickname Pippa. I like Pippa, but I don't like Philippa enough to use it just so I can use the nickname Pippa, and I'm not sure if Pippa can stand on its own.
I think I prefer the Philippa spelling, and I pronunce it like Philip with "ah" on the end. I'm not sure if that's the correct pronunciation through.
