What is ironic about Herbert's decision to change Pip's name to handle?
Georg Friederic Handel (1685-1759) was a famous German composerwho spent much time in England. Herbert first met Pip at Miss Havisham's. Pip used to sing songs there and pretend to be beating out the tempo with a blacksmith's hammer, as he did when assisting at the forge at home. I believe Herbert also called Pip "the musical blacksmith." I can't see any special significance, just a friend giving a friend a special nickname. Maybe Herbert thought the name Pip was inappropriate for someone who was to inherit a fortune and become a gentleman.
