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.

It is ironic that the boys kill Simon because Simon is the character who represents goodness and insight on the island. Their decision to kill him suggests that the boys are descending further into savagery and losing touch with their humanity. This act reflects their increasing brutality and loss of moral compass in their primitive society.
