I love the girls name Piper, and I’m considering calling DD this. Is it an unusual name? Because I haven’t met any. Is Piper a nice name? Do you know any Pipers, and if so, how many, how old are they and where abouts are you in the country? I live in a suburban area in London, and I can’t remember hearing the name so hopefully it will be nice and unusual. Opinions are welcome ❤️

I know a dog called Piper but no children.

I know a horse and a dog called Piper (and in fact I recommended it as a dog name on a thread here just a day or so ago 😄).

You can see its popularity over time on Darkgreener: https://names.darkgreener.com/#piper

It’s still relatively unusual (#168, 308 babies in 2021) but it is on a meteoritic upwards trajectory when you consider that it used be virtually unheard of. It has jumped nearly 400 places in ten years which is unusual in name trends, which tend to move quite slowly. I think it is the next Harper.

I know one. They are a teenager living in the USA.

I think of it as an American name really but there's no reason you can't use it.
