Like the pronunciation: fuh-leap-ah...How would you spell the name?

Felipa? Filippa? Other options??

Thanks?

I would lean towards Filipa or Felipa - I like the looks of Filipa more.

Anything with two p's, I would be inclined to say "FILL-ipa" or "fi-LIP-a".

I'm confused, is this a girl name that you are pronouncing like Felipe, only with an -a at the end?

The traditional name is Philippa, or Filippa, but the first syllable is pronounced phil, not fuh.

No, Felipa is the traditional Spanish spelling, while Philippa is the traditional English/German spelling.

ETA: both, of course, being the feminine form of the masculine name Philip (deriving from the Greek Philippos).

OK, but Felipa and Philippa would be pronounced completely differently, right? Fuh-LEE-pa vs PHIL-uh-pa.

Right. Felipa and Filipa (which is the Portuguese version) are both pronounced feh-LEE-pa. Philippa/Phillipa is pronounced like you said.
