You'll find the gender-neutral name Tippie on the tip-top of your name list. While, at first glance, this moniker may remind you of the English word tip, that's just one of several associations. Tippie is believed to be an American variant of Tippe, a German last name once given to individuals who worked as "tub-makers." For little Tippie, the tub will be a place to splash and scrub, but throughout history, building tubs was an important job! Tippie is also a shortened form of Xanthippe, a Greek moniker meaning "yellow horse." If your Tippie loves running, playing, and adventuring in the muddy outdoors, you might just need a good tub!
