My favorite dumb joke of all time is from Fairly OddParents:
Cosmo: The gold news is I named my nickel Phillip!
King Gripullon: What’s the bad news?
Cosmo: It’s a girl nickel!
… Cosmo is so fucking stupid lol.

So she’s a trans nickel. Time for a new name!

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.

But she might not want a name that reminds her of her deadname.

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…
