I do know one little girl about 5 years old with that name. It is an unfortunate choice for her though, because her last name sounds like Patrick. The two names just don't go together, makes me think of Peter Piper and his peck of pickled peppers.
I have mixed feelings about Piper... I definitely think it's cute for a baby/little girl, I just have a hard time not stereotyping the name beyond that. I feel like an adult named Piper wouldn't be taken seriously... I wouldn't use it, but it is cute.
I have always loved the name (Thank you, Charmed) but Sarah Palin ruined it for me. And it's brought up a few times a week on this board, so it's clearly becoming popular.

Huh, cause I was thinking that I hardly ever see it on here. Must be different times of day.
ETA: Okay so I checked SSA, and it seems Charmed (1998) had an influence because it broke into the top 1000 in 2000 and made giant leaps the first two years. It's still making a steady climb (currently at 147 probably because of Sarah Palin), but it's not a Madison, Harper or Grace by any means.

Re: Piper?
It's cute, I like the mn too.

We keep booting it off our list, but I think it's a cute name ...
i love the name piper. it's cute!
i would definitely pair it with a feminine and traditional middle name to balance it out. piper elizabeth would be great
