Piper vs Tansy vs Betty

[MacMac123]

What does everyone think of these three names for DD due November. Not all together, but as a first name.

My favourite is Piper. Interested to hear thoughts!

Really really don't want to sound negative, but...... Piper and Tansy are the names of my friend's Jack Russells... (sorry!)

Really not keen but at a push I'd pick Piper.

I love piper! It really didn't go with our surname so we didn't use it but it's still my favourite name!

Piper is someone who plays bagpipes.

Failing that it's an oil rig that was involved in a major disaster.

Tansy is the Scottish name for a flower known.as Ragwort in England.

Betty is okay.

I like Betty lots. I also love Nancy (i know, it's not on your list). Piper is a bit too American for me and not terribly keen on Tansy.

I'd go with Tansy (knew a v.nice, human, one growing up).
Also, with the trend for giving animals 'human' names, (the only Piper & Betty I have met were horses for example), that cross-over shouldn't be a concern if you really like a name.

Oh, and congratulations!

Piper was my number one name for a girl and then I found out it was unisex which put me off for some reason, I have a soft spot for tansy because my nans dog was called tansy and she was very sweet

If I had to choose it would be Piper

Like them all. Didn't Topsy and Tim have a sister called Tansy? That's not a plus or a minus, it's just a remembering. I think Tansy is especially nice actually.

Love love Piper-you a fan of Charmed?

Betty, short for Elizabeth though.

Of the 3 i'd go for tansy. We have a very small school and we still happen to have two Pipers. 1 boy and 1 girl. I don't hate Betty, but I prefer Elizabeth and you could use Betty for everyday use :)

At a push, Betty with Elizabeth for BC. I wouldn't call her just Betty.

What about Tanith nn Tany?

My DM's Siamese cat was called Tansy - I think of it as a pet's name.

Piper makes me think of footballers wives copying film stars - in the style of Posh Beckham with Harper. I have never really like the idea of surnames as first names for girls - Piper, Harper, Taylor, Mackenzie, etc. It works well for boys, though.

Betty puts me in mind of TV barmaids. Why not call you DD Elizabeth and see what suits her as her personality develops - Liz, Lizzy, Betty, Beth, Lizbet, Eliza, etc.

Congratulations, btw.

Betty is gorgeous the other two are awful!!

I prefer Piper out of the three :-)

Betty from Elizabeth.

Please don't have piper I trying to keep it uncommon. Betty is cool

Piper is great!

Betty (short for Elizabeth)

Never mind the naysayers! Piper is lovely.

Betty is the best of the three imo.

Like Tansy the best.

Betty is just too old lady for me and Piper is too American/surnamey!

like Betty, but prefer Betsy.
