DH and I are expecting DD2 and my favourite name is Piper but DH is not 100%
What are your opinions on Piper? DD1 is Violet and my other possibilities are
Hazel
Tallulah
Felicity
Matilda
Ottilie

Thanks!

I know a 7yo Piper, lovely girl but not a fan of the name. Prefer Matilda, think it goes much better with Violet.

How is Piper a name? It refers to someone who plays the pipes.

Just sounds awful, sorry. Like a surname and when these are used as first names I think they sound very dated very quickly.

The others on your list are nice. Ottilie sounds beautiful.

I really LOVE it. Gorgeous.

Piper is a gorgeous name, we were considering it for DD.

Sounds like a surname to me. I know it's not, but it sounds like one of those surnamey American names. Harper's in the same category for that reason.

I like Piper. I also like Felicity and Matilda from your list.
As you already have Violet, not sure about using Hazel too as both colour/flower names. But that's just me.

I prefer Pippa?
I like Felicity (not sure about flick though) and Matilda from your list.

I think Piper is absolutely dreadful. Sorry. From your list I like Hazel best. Violet also a lovely name.

skinmysunshine · 24/05/2014 21:19

I like all your names including Piper

I've always liked Piper as a girls name - Gillian Andersons daughter is called Piper Maru Smile
