What comes to your head when you hear piper?

I love it, other half.. Not so much, I'm sure there is room for persuasion though... Smile

Piper from The Minecraft Crew. DD watches MineCraft Crew videos on YouTube so much I feel like Piper is my best friend. She seems nice enough, American.

Piper Laurie, then Piper Alpha came into my head.

To me it's a cheery name, unusual.

First reaction "Piper at the gates of Dawn", nice name, though (bit of an old hippy, me)

fruitypie · 21/05/2013 19:07

I love it!

Alligatorpie · 21/05/2013 19:12

I love it, it was actually on my list, but dh veto'd it.

olivertheoctopus · 21/05/2013 21:03

American.

KittyVonCatsworth · 21/05/2013 22:41

Alpha. Not keen TBH.

I love love love the name Piper! Dd was very nearly called it but our surname makes it sound like the oil rig!

LynetteScavo · 21/05/2013 22:51

Billie Piper.

But I like it as a name, maybe as Harper's sibling.

there are two in my son's school of 200+ kids - 1 boy and 1 girl :)

LittleMissLucy · 22/05/2013 00:52

I like it and I live in the US where I hear it occasionally, but not as much as many other names.

ChristineDaae · 22/05/2013 21:14

Piper from charmed here too, love it but not for a girl

wizzler · 22/05/2013 22:24

I love it...

Sarah Palin. It is (famously) the name of one of her children. She named the child after the light aircraft she likes to use while shooting. To me it is therefore a sort of moose-shootin'-from-helicopters, redneck kind of name that goes with Trig and Track and the other names given to her children.

I used to babysit a Piper, and she was adorable. Good connotations for me.

WithASpider · 23/05/2013 11:22

I really like it, it was one of our two choices for DD1!

ephemeralfairy · 23/05/2013 12:10

Piper Alpha. Not good imo.

xyla · 23/05/2013 13:03

It sounds odd to me, like a manufactured cheerfulness. But probably wouldn't notice/care once I met the person.

Sallypuss · 23/05/2013 18:06

...is the name of our dog Grin Sorry!

JazzAnnNonMouse · 23/05/2013 18:09

Floggingmolly · 23/05/2013 18:16

It's also the name of one of the Queen's corgis, Sallypuss Grin
Are you Her Maj?

Kneedeepindaisies · 23/05/2013 18:19

Piper from Charmed, but I love it.

Go for it!
