Phillip - prefer Philip
Alethea - prefer Althea or Letha is lovely, too
Charlotte
Ella*
Frederick - prefer Frederik

Philippa is lovely - I'd rather have that nn Pippa than Pippa as a fullname. I don't like Florence but would have loved Philippa Jane.

Patrick seems to be making a big comeback, and I do like it.

Oh, I love the alliteration of Philippa Florence Jane! Two-MN combos are always better with alliteration.
Barnie, Harry, and Pippa Annie are adorable.
Pippa Fay is nice too. Odd that I've liked two Pippa combos here--I don't usually go in for all that.
Oh my there are two more Pippas! Stop, people! Stop! (Well, the sibset Catherine, Martyn, and Pippa is quite charming...)
Polly Alethea is raw.
And all those Poppies...blah!

As an American I'm always charmed to see Paddy used as a FN. Paddy John Christopher is lovely.
Patrick Michael Antonio is classic and hardcore.
Peter Harold Taylor is gorgeous and distinguished.

Polly Elizabeth Wynn - I don't really like Polly but this is a great combo

Philippa Florence Jane is beautiful! I think I'd prefer just Philippa Florence, but it sounds wonderful with Jane as well. Sebastian is also my favorite boy name. I love these parents!

Pippa Rose is really pretty, too.

Gah, I hate Phoebe and I'm really not a fan of Pippa or Poppy. Philippa Florence Jane is lovely though. I like Patrick and I'm glad to see Bertie even though I think I prefer it as a nickname. I don't like Paddy but then I don't like any nickname for Patrick.

I cannot remember the last time I saw a US BA with Polly as a fn. Pippa, as predicted, seems destined to be very popular. Poppy was popularized (sorry) by cooking star Jamie Oliver. The trend of using 2 mn's is really highlighted here, as well as the trend to nn's being used as proper fn's : Bertie and Paddy.

Look at all the Pippas! I wonder where that naming trend is coming from ;)
