Name 'Pepper'?

My husband came to me and said he loves the name Pepper and I do actually really like it!

What do you think?

I'm guessing everyone's going to say noGrin

Reminds me of Pepper from Modern Family.

Grin my mistake

My cat is called pepper, given my time over I would give them a different name.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 13/01/2020 14:53

I also thought of Peppa Pig. It might not bother you, OP, but it'll bother her when she starts school.

Now if this was your idea OP we could blame those probably hormones. What’s your husband’s excuse ?

TBH It’s not the worst I’ve read on these boards but it’s not great. I’m sure you have better names on your list.

Pepa is a South American name..

sel2223 · 13/01/2020 14:50

pepper' isn't a name. It's a condiment

Sorry, that made me lol 🤣

I'm not a fan to be honest OP, but it's not the worst name I've ever heard. I much prefer Piper

Livebythecoast · 13/01/2020 14:50

I think it's a bit of a 'marmite' name (No, that's not another name suggestion!).
You either love it or hate it. Personally, I'm the latter - I would call a dog or cat it but not a baby.
But at the end of the day, it's your choice Smile

Thesearmsofmine · 13/01/2020 14:49

I would use it for a pet but not a child. Pippa is lovely.

FairytaleofBykerGrove · 13/01/2020 14:49

@legalseagull I completely disagree with you. Pepper is a seasoning, not a condiment.

FairytaleofBykerGrove · 13/01/2020 14:48

I knew a cat called Pepper. It’s a bit ridiculous on a human tbh. Sorry.

ironicname · 13/01/2020 14:46

Pigs and dogs sorry.

VivaLeBeaver · 13/01/2020 14:45

Ah yes, she was officially Pippin. Named for LOTR.

VivaLeBeaver · 13/01/2020 14:44

I don't think pepper's real name was pepper in good omens was it? Seem to remember it was a nickname.... Or was that wensleydale? Good omens isn't the barometer of sensible names. Grin

WombleOfTheThighs · 13/01/2020 14:37

Good Omens That is all.

legalseagull · 13/01/2020 14:36

The difference is that 'pepper' isn't a name. It's a condiment.

PsychosonicCindy · 13/01/2020 14:32

I had a friend called Pepper when I was little I love it!
Yeah ok there's Peppa Pig but people still use Minnie (mouse) Elsa, Thomas (tank engine) Rory (racing car ) etc etc so what's the difference?

VivaLeBeaver · 13/01/2020 14:32

Pippa or piper not pepper

mildlymiffed · 13/01/2020 14:32

Just to err on the conventional- how about Pippa (in its own right or as a nn for Philippa?). I think the association between Pepper and pig may lead to unwanted teasing by other kids...

Biancadelrioisback · 13/01/2020 14:31

What about Piper?
I couldn't look past the pig

BurnerPhone · 13/01/2020 14:30

What if she grows up to be a doctor? Grinbut seriously if you like it then there are worse names out there

Thestrangestthing · 13/01/2020 14:30

😂 No

Not a fan.

I think 'Pig', 'Potts' and then 'bully from Annie'.

@Bunnylady54 I thought that too but I don't think it bothers me!
