My husband came to me and said he loves the name Pepper and I do actually really like it!

What do you think?

I'm guessing everyone's going to say noGrin

we travel the world so our children will be homeschooled so being bullied at school won't be an issue. Some people on here are ridiculous

Indeed they are.

Sassy, cute and unusual Grin. Well, it’s one of those, certainly.

It's cute. We had a rabbit called pepper.
I don't know I'd name a child pepper though.
On the fence with this one.

I absolutely love it. Sassy, cute and unusual. My kids have unusual names and this is why my policy was to not discuss their potential names publicly until they were born as people can be awful about them. 100% your decision. You don't need to justify it with the home school thing. I think of Gwyneth Paltrow's Pepper character in Ironman, ste was perfect!
Good luck 🍀👶

My immediate thought was Pepper in Good Omens, for whom it’s a nickname from her full name of Pippin Galadriel Moonchild Grin

Lovely for an animal. You should probably think more highly of your child though!

I know a Spanish lady called Pepa. In the UK, Peppa Pig would be the association.

Silly. And you've clearly made your mind up so wht bother asking. The home schooling thing is obviously irrelevant, unless your children are not going to mingle with other kids. There are bullies in the home Ed community too.

Well it’s ok for a condiment, but apart from that, bloody awful.

Pepper was on my list for DS2 had he been a girl. I say my list, dh was having none of it.


Interestingly I do genuinely have a Dr. pepper at my GP surgery though.

What made you love it? If I heard someone calling Pepper when out and about I’d honestly expect a dog to come bounding over.

A friend of mine has a little girl called Pepper. I didn't like it at first. Now I love it

I actually like the sound of it BUT i also travel/wok abroad and Peppa Pig is everywhere! I’m currently in China and it’s even huge here... I don’t think you can escape the pig association!
