Like it. Kipper is Mikka which makes it slightly different and not a direct connection but an awesome one for you. As someone who likes to change people's names to something similar or come up with a connection I don't have an immediate one. She will get called Mick-ah at first by some people. It's a nice simple name that isn't spelled weird or sound like you were high when you made it up.
Potential nickname: Mik like Mick or Meesh. Nothing much there. Your hockey friends will call her Kipper.

We just liked it as a name.

Honestly, my first reaction was what? I immediately went Poser....and then thought of the nursery rhyme you note above which I link back to the plague. Likely not an issue for the younger generation though as there are many weirder names out there.
I had to look it up and it seems reasonably common for England. It really doesn't matter what any of us think though because you've named her already.
Potential nicknames: if the word is ever in with her generation then Poser other than that it already is a nickname. Maybe gets shortened to Pose. The good thing is other than the nursery rhyme there is no immediate taunting name that comes to mind.

Potential nickname: Rett/Rhett, Ev, Ever. "Everetty Bunny" but that's a stretch.
