What do you think of Piper for a girl?

It made me think of my dads dog, sorry it is a pretty name, but not sure for a person.

Check your baby name books. It's an old English name meaning pipe player obviously! I love it which is just as well as it's dd2's name. She's gorgeous, it suits her and at at least it's not popular! If you like it go for it

happyjules - I think the relevant point for me is that it was an old english surname not a feminine first name.

I'm glad you've chosen a name that you love and that suits your littl'un but I really don't like the current Americanised trend for surnames as first names..see also Harper, Emerson, Madison etc

Really sorry OP but the only Pipers that I know are both dogs!

Of course there's Piper from "Charmed" and there's Piper Laurie and another Piper who is an American actress.

Piper doesn't travel well into other languages. Imagine pronouncing it in German, French or Spanish....

Also sounds masculine to me, don't know why though.
