Piipu sounds weird, but cute in a way, I think I like it. Other than that, I like Axel, Vilho, Ilmari, Lumi (I absolutely adore Lumi to be exact!), Elma, Aleksanteri (one of the nicest-sounding and most interesting forms of Alexander, though I like Alexander itself too a lot_, Felix, Viljami is quite cool, AMelie, Helle, Impi, Ellen, Sofie, Emilia - yeah it's my name and I love it :D - Sophie, Louise, Inkeri (wha a cute alternative to Ingrid!), Olavi (another Finnish name I'm in love with), Safiina is incredibly interesting, I've never heard it before, bella, Elsi, Tuulia and Samuel.

I'm as confused as you about Piipu. I've never before come across it and it only reminds of the word "piippu" meaning "pipe". Besides that, it feels very nickname-y to me: maybe it's a diminutive of Piritta, Pirjo, Pirkko and such?
