Piper? Thoughts?

Opinions? My previous short list was:
Anna
Sarah
Alice

Would be a sister for Erin.

Love it

OnceMoreAgainWithFeeling · 13/02/2015 23:24

I like Piper a lot, feels like a pretty but not overly girly name. I also like Alice from your list. Anna is nice, but a little generic. Sarah is such an 'I couldn't be arsed to think of a name, this will do" to me. So bland.

I've never heard of it as a name and would assume it was a boy's name or a surname.

MillieH30 · 13/02/2015 23:18

Not keen at all. I much prefer the other names on your list - particularly Alice. Goes well with Erin.

I like all the others ....but Piper awful.

I wanted to call dd Piper but DP didn't like it Sad

Devora · 13/02/2015 23:17

I don't mind Piper. Prefer Anna!

squoosh · 13/02/2015 23:15

I prefer all the other name son your short list. Piper to me is on a par with calling your child Plumber. It just sounds odd.

Really like it

BreeVDKamp · 13/02/2015 23:04

Love it!

I love Piper. It's a bit of anti-American snobbery that gets MNers backs up about the name, I think.

fizzycolagurlie · 13/02/2015 22:59

I love Piper as a name and know one in my DS's class. She's 8 and I think its more popular over here (US) maybe.

RabbitSaysWoof · 13/02/2015 22:52

I love it, there was a thread about it before and it was torn to shreds I think but I really really like it alot.

Sophronia · 13/02/2015 22:50

I'm not keen, I much prefer Anna, Sarah and Alice. Piper does go well with Erin though.

RhiannonElward · 13/02/2015 22:14

Of your shortlist I think Piper is the nicest name, although all of them go well with Erin and are pretty I just prefer more unusual names.
