is that some kind of designation? did he graduate composition school? I am lost!? What does CF stand for? The C could possibly stand for composition, right? LOl
thanks!!

Nice guess Christine It actually stands for Charles Frederick Kip Winger...his full name.

So is the "Kip" part just a nickname them? Cute - now we can call him Chuck Fred! LOL!!!

"I'll mend your broken heart," he said.
"Under one condition."

As far as I've read, Kip is part of his name....not a nickname. So ironic because I have an Uncle named Kip...Kip W. to be exact. My Uncle who lived in NY and danced there, is the one who started Southern Ballet Theatre here and is still involved in dance to this day.

Hmmm...those guys named Kip must be born with a natural talent and creativity

Deeandra

Hmmm.......now I know where you get that dancing talent from..........

SWEET!!!

"I'll mend your broken heart," he said.
"Under one condition."

ahahhahahaha, sometimes you just have to laugh.....

well given my line of work where all my clients have a bunch of letters after their name, I had to ask.

and if you really want to laugh, the designation CPCU means Certified Property and Casualty Underwriter. My boss calls it "Can't produce and can't underwrite"

have a good holiday weekend everyone!!!

and my friend from Holland says kip means chicken in Dutch.

Charles Frederick Kip. I wonder if his parents were poetry fans, because that's the first place my mind went. Rudyard Kipling. Frederic Mistral. Charles Baudelaire.

Of course, I minored in literature, so it might just be me!

Thanks, as always, for your information, Deeandra.

Well if'n you look at the cover for Alice Cooper "The Nightmare Returns", he's listed as Kip Winger III. I've also seen some interviews where he mentions that he's a 3rd. So it's a name passed down through the generations--well, at least the Charles Frederick part, I think.
