DH and I are expecting DD2 and my favourite name is Piper but DH is not 100%
What are your opinions on Piper? DD1 is Violet and my other possibilities are
Hazel
Tallulah
Felicity
Matilda
Ottilie

Thanks!

I've always liked Piper as a girls name - Gillian Andersons daughter is called Piper Maru Smile

skinmysunshine · 24/05/2014 21:19

I like all your names including Piper

Viviennemary · 24/05/2014 21:24

I think Piper is absolutely dreadful. Sorry. From your list I like Hazel best. Violet also a lovely name.

Parker?

Universal · 24/05/2014 21:26

Parker?

I prefer Pippa?
I like Felicity (not sure about flick though) and Matilda from your list.

RAFWife12 · 24/05/2014 21:29

I like Piper. I also like Felicity and Matilda from your list.
As you already have Violet, not sure about using Hazel too as both colour/flower names. But that's just me.

Sounds like a surname to me. I know it's not, but it sounds like one of those surnamey American names. Harper's in the same category for that reason.

Piper is a gorgeous name, we were considering it for DD.

BOFster · 25/05/2014 04:23

I really LOVE it. Gorgeous.

oohdaddypig · 25/05/2014 04:48

How is Piper a name? It refers to someone who plays the pipes.

Just sounds awful, sorry. Like a surname and when these are used as first names I think they sound very dated very quickly.

The others on your list are nice. Ottilie sounds beautiful.

I know a 7yo Piper, lovely girl but not a fan of the name. Prefer Matilda, think it goes much better with Violet.

ThingsThatShine · 25/05/2014 04:54

I like it because of piper in orange is the new black! However I also like a pp's suggestion of pippa which I think is more in the style of your dd1 name.

burgatroyd · 25/05/2014 05:40

I love Piper. Odd but it seems much more trendy than Ottilie but I've only heard of Ottilie these last few months but heard of Piper since Charmed. There is an interesting article about a woman who named her daughter Ottilie but calls her Sparkle as the name doest suit. Try to get your partner on board with Piper. It doesn't sound like he's 100% on any names!

Youarejustwordsonascreenpeople · 25/05/2014 05:44

I have a 6 yo (nearly 7 yo) Piper and I have had nothing but positive comments about it. I love it Grin

Rhubarbgarden · 25/05/2014 06:24

Really dislike Piper. Love Hazel, Ottilie and Felicity.

Guin1 · 25/05/2014 06:59

Agree with pp that Piper will date. Pippa is much better. Or any of the other names on your list (except Tallulah).

DoItTooJulia · 25/05/2014 07:02

Phipps is dull compared to your other names.

Love Otillie!

DoItTooJulia · 25/05/2014 07:03

Pippa! Not Phipps!

SpringBee · 25/05/2014 12:09

Yes I love love love Piper. Also like violet :)

Onesleeptillwembley · 25/05/2014 12:11

Bloody awful.

TheGinSoakedBoy · 25/05/2014 12:12

I know a Piper, she rocks. Lovely name Grin

Trinpy · 25/05/2014 12:20

It probably will date but who cares - I love it!

Your other names would go better with dd1's name though.

TheHoundsBitch · 25/05/2014 12:22

Piper and Hazel are lovely, not keen on the others except maybe Felicity.

Locketjuice · 25/05/2014 13:10

It was my favourite name and wasn't budging for anything..but dp won when my daughter came out with bright red hair and his name suited her so much more!
