!NAME: William Whipple writes: "My father has always spelled his name with one 'L' in Philip. I learned tonight for the first time though that the correct spelling has two 'Ls'. His explanation is that as a boy he chose to use one instead of two and it stuck. It would follow that his father's name has two 'Ls' as well." --Wm. Whipple, 23 Nov 1998
