      Philippa, or some approximately close spelling of that, is a fairly common feminine form of Phillip in many languages, and it used to be in English as well, but largely fell out of fashion in particularly in present day American English.

      Goes all the way back to Greek, then Latin, then the Romance languages, etc.

          Hrm. Well… right.

          Is … the nickel acrually sentient at all?

          Or is Cosmo just needlessly gendering non gendered things?

          Like, if you can ask the nickel, then yes, do that…

          But if the nickel is in fact… just a nickel…

          ???
