Jiske or Pip

14 replies

AnonymousGuest ·
After having two boys, we're expecting a girl.
We already have two boys: Jidde and Feike.
We haven't figured out the girl's name yet.
What we've got so far:
Jiske (I've liked this name for a long time, but our babysitter is called Jiske, is that okay? Should we maybe let her know?)
Pip (Do you think this is still cool when you're older? Doesn't it have too much to do with Woezel and Pip?)
Maybe another nice suggestion?

    Tough..! Looking ahead, I voted for Jiske, but I'm really in love with the name Pip!! I don't think Pip suits an adult so well (although Pip Pellens, for example, works out fine). At least I don't associate it with Woezel & Pip.

    Do your other kids have multiple names? Why make it Jiske Pip -surname- then?

    Jiske, cute name, but I find it sounds a lot like "Jidde," so I personally wouldn't choose it.

    Pip isn't my thing, but if you like it, definitely go for it!

    What do you think of Mirthe, Thirza, or Linde?

    I voted for Pip because I think Jiske sounds a lot like Jidde. It's a nice name though, Jiske.
    With Pip, I don't immediately associate it with Woezel & Pip. I think the name could work for an adult too.

    Maybe an alternative for Jiske is still an idea? E.g., Jiska, Jeske.

    Pip! Cheerful! Cozy name. Jiske seems too similar to Jidde to me. Nice names, by the way, Jidde and Feike!

    I also think Jiske sounds a bit too much like Jidde, but it's nice...
    Pip is super nice too! Sounds very smooth..

    Jiske! It looks a lot like Jidde, but I don't like Pip.
    (I always find it so striking how people either really like names like Pip or don't like them at all.)

    I'll go with Jiske.
    I'm also hesitating about the combination with Jidde.
    I don't really like Pip for an adult woman.
    My dog is named Pip, maybe that's why I can't see it as a name for an adult. .

    Ninthe, Janne, Lot, Lieze, Minke, Loes, Jonne,?

    I'm going with Jiske. It's a cheerful name.

    I find Pip quite unfinished—it's an abbreviation for both Philip and Philippa, but it feels more like a nickname than a full first name. Plus, as an outsider, you wouldn't know if it's a boy or a girl, and I don't really like that.

    I vote for Pip! Such a cute name!
    Short, tough, and strong!
    I know a 17-year-old Pip! Never associated with Woezel and Pip!

    I don't really like Jiske, to be honest.
    Besides, it reminds me of Jiskefet (a TV show, I think something with cabaret).

    I think Pip is super cool! And I've never had the association with Woezel and Pip. It's also on our list!

    Pip!

    I'm going for PiP!
    I'm not really into super short names, but I think PiP is awesome! Nice and short, strong, and it gives me a bit of a cheeky vibe.....

    I like Pip more! Pippa was also on my mind for a long time. (inspired by Pippa Middleton)

    PiP and Pippa, both are great!
