Phillip
- This is my husband's name, and don't get me going on how great
a
guy he is or we'll be here all day and long into the night! Classic but not so popular you run into three of them any given day. I even think it's sexy, if the man in question prefers to go by Phillip and not Phil. Of course, the one L version is nice too.
- I can't help it
The one-L spelling of Philip was the original first name (and more common in Great Britain), with the 2-L spelling deriving from the surname based on the first name. The 2-L spelling is the most common in the USA.
