I don't know of any little Philippas, I'd forgotten how nice a name it was have you a middle name in mind?

Although I hate the current fashion to have May/Rose/Grace as middle names, I think all of these really suit Philippa

Philippa is lovely but she can't marry anyone called Bucket. And yes, I know a woman who did.

I'm a Phillippa and have come accross a few little ones recently but all using the shortened form of Pippa,I hate Philly or Phil and will not answer to them but have been Pippa and Pip and Pippin at various stages.Have top saY Have gone back to Pip with advent of texting!
