Names to honor Phiona and Phillip?

General Name Discussion
1

A lady who was named Phiona in an abstract honor to her father [name_m]Phillip[/name_m] found out she’s expecting and want’s to name the baby something that sounds relatively similar or derived of her name or her fathers. A P or Ph isn’t necessary, but if you could involve it in the name that would be up her alley.

She’s considering [name_u]Perrin[/name_u] if it’s a boy and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] for a girl, but wanted more input so I figured I’d ask you guys. Only name she’s given as a no go is [name_f]Phillipa[/name_f]. Thanks for any input!

I think [name_m]Philip[/name_m], nickname [name_m]Pip[/name_m], is lovely. What about [name_f]Filippa[/name_f] or [name_f]Philippine[/name_f] ([name_f]Pippa[/name_f], [name_f]Pippy[/name_f]) instead of [name_f]Philippa[/name_f]?

I think using a Ph- name would the best way to keep the tradition.

[name_f]Philomena[/name_f]

Also, there’s the -ippe part of Philip that means “horse”. Other names that have this are: Alcippe, Aristippe, Chrysippus, Gylippus, Hippocrates, and Hippolyte for a boy and Aganippe, Alcippe, Cidippe, Cydippe, Dioxippe, Hipponoe, Hippothoe, Menippe, Xanthippe, and Zeuxippe for a girl.

Names that contain “ph”: Adelpha, Alphonsine, Amphinome, Amphithoe, Amphitryon, Aphelia, Aphrodite, Aphrotrite, Capheira, Daphne, Dauphine, Delphine, Dymphna, Epaphroditus, Ephyra, Epiphany, Eriphyle, Euphemia, Euphrosyne, Gustaphine, Iphigenia, Iphianassa, Iphis, Josephe, Josephine, Memphis, Nephele, Ophelia, Ophira, Orphise, Persephone, Raphaelle, Sapphira, Sappho, Seraphina, Séraphïta, Sophie, Sophronia, Stephanie, Symphony, Theophania, Theophila, Tryphosa, Zephyr, and Zephyrine for girls

Alpheus, Alphonse, Amphictyon, Amphilochus, Amraphel, Aphrodisius, Aristophanes, Arnolphe, Asaph, Bardulph, Bellerophon, Cephas, Cephus, Christopher, Dalphon, Daphnis, Elihoreph, Eosphoros, Eliphalet, Eliphaz, Epaphroditus, Ephah, Epher, Ephraim, Gandolph, Gryphus, Haphaestus, Hasupha, Humphrey, Iphitas, Japhet, Jehoshaphat, Jephunneh, Joseph, Ludolphe, Marphurius, Menulph, Metaphraste, Morpheus, Murphy, Neophytos, Nicephorus, Onesiphorus, Ophir, Orpheus, Pandolph, Porphirios, Potiphar, Ralph, Randolph, Raphael, Riphath, Seraphim, Shaphat, Sheleph, Shephatiah, Shepho, Sisyphus, Sophocles, Sophonie, Stephan, Theophilus, Theophylact, Tryphine, Xenophon, Zephaniah, Zepho, Zephyr, Ziphion, and Zophar for boys

Also, a neat inversion of the name Philip is Hippophilos.

This includes any of the variants as well. I excluded names with "f"s, but if I were to use the letter, I would use “ff” in a name. Names like Griffin or Ffiona (which I’m guessing is a variant of your friend’s name) I think work best because it does place emphasis on the double letter. And if you replace the “ff” with “ph” it keeps the balance of the name. So Griffin becomes Gryphon which has the same amount of letters. There’s also Irish and Scottish beauties that contain “bh” which makes the “f” sound.

Personally I agree with sugarplumfairy, that the best honoring would be done with a “PH” in beginning of the name, girl or boy. But for “ph” names that are outside the box:
Girl:
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] or [name_f]Delphina[/name_f]
[name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Iphigenia[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
Boy:
[name_m]Alphonso[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Ephraim[/name_m]
[name_m]Humphrey[/name_m]
[name_u]Memphis[/name_u]
[name_u]Murphy[/name_u]

Since she likes “p” names like “[name_u]Perrin[/name_u]” she could consider:
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_f]Peridot[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Perlina[/name_f]
[name_f]Pauline[/name_f]
[name_f]Pegeen[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Paige[/name_f]

[name_m]Paladin[/name_m]
[name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Preston[/name_m]
[name_u]Perry[/name_u]
[name_m]Prescott[/name_m]
