My DH and I are struggling to come up with girls names. My DH does not want a name that is too poplar we had settled on Martha, but we recently know if a couple of newborn Martha's. DH has suggested Piper, what do people think?

Piper is my favourite baby girls name and if I ever had a girl I would definitely choose this. Despite doing a thread of my own on the name Piper and getting SO many negative comments, the positives outweighed them. I absolutely love it, it’s so sweet and the nicknames Pip, Pippa and P and sweet baby nicknames too. It’s one that as they get older can just use the full ‘piper’ too!

Hm. It’s very different to Martha in style. Piper is in Harper territory - but not quite as celeb wannabe naff. A piper is a big bearded man in Highland dress to me. There are worse names, though. But I don’t like Martha - it’s too much a worthy servant name.

I really like Piper, I think it’s effortlessly cool and different but not weird. 👍🏼
