Piper or Pippa?

[iggel]

Which one of these names do you think is nicer for a girl?

Pippa

Piper (very popular here in Australia)

I'm sorry but I don't like either. But it's your baby, so pick the name you like.

Pippa, so long as it's short for Philippa. Piper sounds quite American to me.

I think Pippa is much nicer.

Piper makes me think of a bagpipe player and I'm not keen on occupation type names.

Pippa - I've known 2 (different ages/context ) both lovely - one it was a nn from philippa the other wasn a Penelope but her mum wanted Pippa as nn and it stuck....

Piper is ok but not as good as Pippa

Pippa

I guess if you have phillippa on the BC you can have either or both as nick names?

Piper sounds like bagpipes.

Or I think it means to "suck off" in French.

Both are awful, sorry

Piper

Piper is a blow job, a potato or a musical instrument player.

Why on earth would anyone choose to name their child Piper?!

Job names sound so odd. Mason is another one. Just ew.

I thought Pippa means how job in Greek?!

Pippa definitely

Philippa ...

Piper sounds squeeky and random.

Piper, Drummer, Flautist and Fiddler are going to Pianist's birthday party on Saturday.

Who pays the Piper calls the tune.

The pied Piper.

Peter Piper picked a pick of pickled peppers...

I suppose that it's a surname as first name, but as such it works no better than any occupation surname as a first name - Butcher, Baker, Smith, Carpenter, Farmer...

I'm in the minority, but I much prefer Piper to Pippa.

I see Pippa as a bit of a nothing name. It's cutesy and chirpy sounding, but it has no substance. Piper is altogether different.

Piper.
