Pippa was named by my daughter, Alyssa...funny story. When Alyssa was 3 years old she decided her name was not Alyssa, it was Pippa-and we should all address her as such. I don't know where she came up with it at all, even though I have heard that Kelly Ripa is sometimes referred to as Pippa by Regis, and there is a barbie doll named Pippa in England. Anyway, we only called Alyssa "Pippa" for a short time until it wore off. As soon as she got baby girl Yorkie, she said, "this is PIPPA!!' It kinda came full circle.
As for Scout, my favorite literary character is Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. Even though Scout Finch is a girl in the book, I thought it was a cute name for our little boy. I didn't think anyone would get "Jem Finch". LOL I still haven't figured out a name for his AKC papers...I'm thinking "T & M's Scout's Honor" Any other suggestions? |
