Flipper

Though associated with swimming and aquatic animals, Flipper is no stranger to many, thanks to American footballer Flipper Anderson. This masculine choice has cool nickname vibes but takes front and center as a given name. Playful in nature, Flipper has a motivated chime ready to make the most of every wave rolling its way. Similar to Flip, some may like to consider Flipper an elaboration of a name that stems from Filip, from the Greek Phílippos, meaning “friend of horses” or “horse lover.” Whether inspired by your favorite sports idol, in love with its nautical theme, or taking a new approach to an ancient title, Flipper has lots of potential.
