Philip with a P surname?

[name]Philip[/name] is a newest love of mine, and while I’ll likely never use it (5 other boys names I love more), I still like thinking “what if”.

My SO’s surname starts with a P, and I realised that I’m not too fond of the alliteration with P. Peepee anyone?

What do you think of [name]Philip[/name] P.? SO’s surname starts with [name]Pavel[/name]- in case that makes a difference.

Hmm. I’m personally not a fan of alliteration in the first place (as you know), but PP isn’t the best set of initials for a kid. That being said, it might make for a snazzy business card thirty years down the road :stuck_out_tongue: But honestly, I’ve gone to school with some kids with really weird initials, and nobody ever bugged them about it.
Another thought - [name]Philip[/name] ends in P as well - with your SO’s last name, that’s a lotta P! So my vote is no :frowning:

Hmmmm. [name]Philip[/name] P is PP, I think that’s survivable but admittedly unfortunate. Also the p at the end of [name]Philip[/name] bumps into the P in the last name, so it kind of sounds like Fill a [name]Pavel[/name]-. But I do like the way [name]Philip[/name] and [name]Pavel[/name]- sound together, and I like how with an I middle name you get the initials [name]PIP[/name] which is a sweet nn for [name]Philip[/name] (although maybe teaseworthy in its own right).

Anyway, I really like this name but I think it’s probably fortunate you have other names you like more given the surname.

Omg you both are so very right! I totally missed the P ending, ahaha. Good thing [name]Philip[/name] will likely never be used then, thank you so much for your inputs!

Maybe, but mine are RR and I got railroad a couple times but I wouldn’t change it for the world. So I say go for it. [name]Phillip[/name] is nice!

Personally, I would skip it. [name]Even[/name] if no one ever teases him about his initials, a few people are bound to notice and comment from time to time. He probably won’t feel proud or confident to display his intitials. I say it’s better not to risk having a child feel embarrassed about their initials or name.
