I think I have it, but need advice on the correct combination (sound) and or a better name to go with Piper (my preferred name for baby girl). Please chime in! Ty!

Piper is a bit cutesy- she’ll be a middle aged woman one day. Also not sure Siv works in the UK. You could go with Philippa and have Pip/Pippa/Piper as a nickname?

Pied?

Violet

Violet Piper could visualise a bagpiper in purple tartan

I’m sorry I don’t like it. All I can think of is Piper Alpha (and that is not a suggestion - for those that don’t know it was a major disaster).

Maris. 😁

RaraRachael · 04/09/2025 07:36

This is a joke, right?

You’re not seriously considering calling a child Billie Piper?

PauliesWalnuts · 04/09/2025 07:56

I met an American woman in a youth hostel once who had a daughter called Mary Piper. They used her full name when referring to her.

Calliopespa · 04/09/2025 07:58

It's way outside my super-conservative bag of preferred names BUT actually I quite like it.

For me, though, I would pair it with something more staid to give her options - and I would even consider that on the BC and use her middle name (Piper) day to day. I think there is a risk of her growing up and thinking "they called me WHAT?" when she is filling out job applications.

But that's maybe me and my boring attitude to naming - and I do think its quite sweet. Makes me think of Pan or a faun...

TizerorFizz · 04/09/2025 07:59

Piper is surely setting a girl up for ridicule? As can be seen above, it’s easy to make fun of it. Piper Maris is a potato! (As an example). It’s just a surname used as a first name for no good reason but it’s just too difficult to use. I’d advise using a recognised name and using Piper as a nickname. Philippa is obviously better. Use Pip as a nickname.

CurlewKate · 04/09/2025 08:00

Alpha?

theunbreakablecleopatrajones · 04/09/2025 08:07

Piper is ok though it will date

Really doesn't go with Siv though, collectively it sounds like baking equipment

Piper Ellen maybe

Or as alternatives to Piper that won't date so much

Phiiippa / Pippa
