I've known a few Philip people, and they've all answered to Phil. And all the Philippa people have been Pippa. So a boy Pip would surprise me, Great Expectations or not!

I wouldn't expect a body-part issue with Amos: when kids are at the stage of finding body parts comical, they tend not to use the anatomical term: Willy would be much more likely to attract their attention. What I would expect would be shortening Amos to Amy ... that would give naughty kids a lot of pleasure.
