Has this name been ruined by the pig?

Does anyone like it? Or is it just too much?

Posted too soon. Yes that name is ruined by the pig, what about Pippa though? That's lovely.

@Falafel19 I like it spelled Pepper rather than Peppa - I just wouldn't want to seem ridiculous especially after the pig! Grin

Well, Pepper is a different word to Peppa, I'm Irish, the second syllable is said completely differently, Peppa is the pig, pepper is a condiment. And also, Pepper isn't a name really is it? Only one I've heard of is the old queen in Modern Family.

Even before the pig there's 'salt & pepper'. I'd be worried about teasing.

Cayenne is much nicer, and you could make it more unique by spelling it Kay-N.

If you don't want your child to have a ridiculous name don't give them one

Honestly pepper is completely different to peppa and neither are names for a human child

Pepper is a very sneezy name.
It's also not a very exotic spice - it would be like calling a child Salt.

I like Piper and Pippa. Pepper would be a big no for me.

No way. Pepper. Your child is not a future seasoning. That is an embarrassing name.

I used to work with a girl called Pepper about 15 years ago. Absolutely everyone queried her name, how to spell it, she was mistakenly called Pippa amongst others. She was constantly pointing out she wasn't named after Peppa Pig as her name was spelt Pepper.

You've never seen American Horror Story then? There's a Pepper in the Asylum series... Not a great connotation Halloween Confused
