Piper?

[TeacupTempest]

I am actually quite loving this at the moment. DH not so keen.

Any thoughts?

[BarryShitpeas]

No

[Gwinkofchocolate]

Are you American? It sounds very American to me - that surname as a first name thing. It's not horrible, just a bit unusual.

[pinkhebe]

no

[frakyouveryverymuch]

As in Charmed? Brave but forever associated with the TV show!

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

Three No's. I just hadn't put mine in before I typed that.
It is bloody awful and the description of an individual blowing a set of bagpipes.

[therugratref]

Reminds me of light airplanes. Piper make them, so no here as well

[singersgirl]

It's not really ugly or anything, but I do think 'why'? For me, the associations are just a bit odd - so I get Scottish chap playing pipes, Pan by the river, piper at the gates of dawn (all very masculine pipers), piping voice (so high and shrill), piping hot, drainpipes. Also in French slang associations of 'pipe' aren't great...

[BigCook]

It's a rather unfortunite surname but for a first name just NO!

There are so many nice names out there. For goodness sake plese don't do it!

[TeacupTempest]

Ouch!

[chaya5738]

are you a Sarah Palin fan?

[SparklingGenius]

used to see a rep called Piper, she was lovely, only Piper I've ever come across.

'tis an old English name, very unusual. can't say I'm too keen though.

[TeacupTempest]

NO NO an NO ....not a Palin fan. shudder

I know its not a classic name and very different from what I usually like but I just like the sound of it.......

Ho hum!

[ninedragons]

Sounds like an offshore oil rig with so many surnames.

Really ghastly, sorry.

[TeacupTempest]

"with so many surnames" ?

[lljkk]

I think it's very pretty, Piper Laurie is what it means to me. More thoughts here. But don't choose it if you can't stand a polarised response.

[yomellamoHelly]

What about Pippa instead? (a la Kate Middleton's sister)

[suwoo]

It sounds like a Cabbage Patch Kid name. I like Cabbage Patch Kids.

[blindmelon]

I know a very cute baby girl called Piper. It's a bit american for my taste, but I do think it's quite sweet. Sounds like a feisty little american gal!

[kitcat83]

I know a Piper and she is a lovely little girl and it really suits her. Although it wouldnt be one of my choices as its a bit "out there" and I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to names.

[cumbria81]

it's hideous.

[PistyNoMates]

I know an American Piper who is 3 and it is sweet on her.

[serendipity16]

I like it although i prefer the name Pippa more.

Pippa would be on my list if im lucky enough to get pregnant again.

[virginiasmonalogue]

i love it. I wanted this for DD1 but DH veto'd it!

[wheniwishuponastar]

I like it, but then i like American names.
