I’ve always liked the name Piers. As Piers Morgan has become a household name over the years I’m concerned people would immediately associate the name with him and he isn’t necessarily well liked. Would this put you off using the name?

I've knows two people called Piers so don't auto think of Piers Morgan - in fact I always think of him as a piers-Morgan and not just piers

I wouldn't be able to shake the association.

I could imagine little Piers at nursery playing with his friends Niles and Gordon.

I wouldn't use this name. The name is so rarely used that it would always make me think of Piers Morgan.

Piers Morgan would put me off using the name. Saying that, I wouldn’t assume the parents of a baby Piers were big fans, but I imagine they would very quickly get tired of comments.

Hopping good to know he doesn’t put you off. What kind of image do you mean?

He wouldn’t put me off using the name but it does conjure up a certain image (maybe unfairly)
