Piper?

[TeacupTempest]

I am actually quite loving this at the moment. DH not so keen.

Any thoughts?

I think it's quite sweet, unusual but easy to pronounce.

Ok so a few more positive responses so it's not all bad.

Thanks for the replies everyone.....although perhaps some where a bit unnecessarily harsh.

haha - go for it! people will get used to it.

I first thought of the French connotation too. Although my French isn't great so I might be mistaken.

I'm afraid my first thought was the Piper Alpha oil rig, sorry. I do think Pippa is a lovely name though.

No, it's simply awful, and American sounding to boot!

It made me think of 12 days of Christmas, and a pony I used to ride.

Don't like Piper and Pippa means wank in some languages an blow job in others!

It is not American. It is in fact an old English name meaning pipe player. I think it is a gloriously upbeat and pretty name and unusual enough in the aray of overused names. No chance of being on of several of that name in a class. Love it which is why I have one!

No. Definitely no. I find it very unappealing and a bit on the senseless side, and I'm on this side of the pond!

I like Piper but prefer Pippa

My son is called Piper and it is a fantastic name, suits him down to the ground. It is not an American name at all, it is Old English and it is a name that has come down through my ancestors.
