Name 'Pepper'?

[ilovechocolatebiscuits]

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 no

You're very defensive, OP. Apparently you can't take a bit of criticism from randoms online, but it's fine for your child to be saddled with teasing for life.

If you cared about the child's wellbeing, you'd give it a conventional name, but use Pepper as a nickname. That way, it always has a choice. What is your motivation for saddling it with a name that may be a constant embarrassment? It's putting your own need for validation before the child's welfare.

Why not have pepper has a middle name?
That way it can work as a nickname but the child can easily just revert to their first name when older if they want?

It’s really unusual and I don’t think, like you say, when you’re child is older they will all have similarly rare names, in fact it is more ‘old fashioned’ names that are coming back into fashion

Call her Pippa. Then let your DS accidentally caller her Pepper and let it stick as a nickname.

The OP has already decided so no idea why she bothered posting. Also doesn't understand/ can't take jokes

It was my dog's name when I was growing up so urm, no.

Would never have considered it do really like it. But kids and parents can be cruel and could end up with Peppa pig right through school.

pig

Will she have an older brother called Sultan?

If not I think it’s fine - it’s a name not to be sneezed at.

There’s a Spanish version spelt ‘Pepa’, which I think is nicer. It’s less cutesy/ pet name than the ‘Pepper’ spelling imo.

It doesn’t matter how it’s spelt, it’s associated with a cartoon pig.
May as well call the child Pinky or Perky. Or Porky...

OMG.
I have never seen American horror film, but have just seen the post with the picture. Please ignore my previous post and come up with something else.

everyone in that generation when they are adults will all have names like 'Pepper' and 'Bluebell' etc. It's the normal now so your point is invalid

No they don't.

The name of my DB's dog. That and the association to Peppa Pig would rule it out for me personally.

The name pepper makes me think of pigs, cats, dogs and horses.

Could you compromise on Pippa?

I like it! Piper is also nice but pippa/philippa is just no!

Isn’t Pepper the cute kid in Annie?

We had a cat called pepper. Just don't do it!

Let's hope poor Pepper is a lot more tolerant of teasing

Love it, it's on my list if I have a girl. 🥰

Only if the world is only populated by a certain, er, type.

Tbf, I’d judge the parents that burdened their child with the idiotic ‘Bluebell’ just as much

It’s a name I love from marvel but would never consider giving to a child.

I know a pepper. She gets a lot of negative comments both to her face and behind her back so I wouldn't.

Is it half term already?

I think it's fairly cute but we used to own a horse called Pepper which would rule it out to me.

Would be an unusual and brave choice, but if you like it... why not? :)

I quite like it but the pig thing would probably stop me.

I met a white guy called Chilli once. He was cool so I thought the name was.
