Has this name been ruined by the pig?
Does anyone like it? Or is it just too much?
Falafel19 · 22/10/2019 20:41
Do you mean Peppa?
Falafel19 · 22/10/2019 20:42
Posted too soon. Yes that name is ruined by the pig, what about Pippa though? That's lovely.
spice3 · 22/10/2019 20:43
@Falafel19 I like it spelled Pepper rather than Peppa - I just wouldn't want to seem ridiculous especially after the pig! 
Falafel19 · 22/10/2019 20:45
Well, Pepper is a different word to Peppa, I'm Irish, the second syllable is said completely differently, Peppa is the pig, pepper is a condiment. And also, Pepper isn't a name really is it? Only one I've heard of is the old queen in Modern Family.

Even before the pig there's 'salt & pepper'. I'd be worried about teasing.

I have a nice cat called Pepper.

Cayenne is much nicer, and you could make it more unique by spelling it Kay-N.

spice3 · 22/10/2019 20:54

Thanks everyone!

Nice for a whiskery dog
DramaAlpaca · 22/10/2019 20:57
Good lord, no. You can't inflict that on a person.
BurnerPhone · 22/10/2019 20:59
The I hope Pepper grows up to be a Dr
winniesanderson · 22/10/2019 21:01
What about Piper? I love that name.
KJayne · 22/10/2019 21:01
What a stupid name. Please don't name a child that
Figgygal · 22/10/2019 21:03
If you don't want your child to have a ridiculous name don't give them one
Honestly pepper is completely different to peppa and neither are names for a human child
IceCreamConewithaflake · 22/10/2019 21:05
Pepper is a very sneezy name.
It's also not a very exotic spice - it would be like calling a child Salt.
Thatnovembernight · 22/10/2019 21:08
I like Piper and Pippa. Pepper would be a big no for me.
Flower17103 · 22/10/2019 21:14
No way. Pepper. Your child is not a future seasoning. That is an embarrassing name.
VenusClapTrap · 22/10/2019 21:15
Pepa is a Spanish girls name.
Peppa is a cartoon pig.
Pepper is a condiment.

I used to work with a girl called Pepper about 15 years ago. Absolutely everyone queried her name, how to spell it, she was mistakenly called Pippa amongst others. She was constantly pointing out she wasn't named after Peppa Pig as her name was spelt Pepper.

You've never seen American Horror Story then? There's a Pepper in the Asylum series... Not a great connotation 
Thefemalekeithrichards · 22/10/2019 21:20
Was perfect for Angie Dickinson in ‘police woman’
Crocky · 22/10/2019 21:20
Why do I hope your surname is Potts?
lotusbell · 22/10/2019 21:21
Pepper Potts!

It’s great. For a Schnauzer.
