Thoughts on Piper?

lifesthebeach · October 2011

I've always thought it was pretty, but when I think about it TOO much I think of smoking a pipe, or the pied piper or sandpiper.... Lay your honest opinions on me, please.

Never really saw the appeal.

Plus I speak French and "pipe" ("faire un pipe") is French for blow job. Which means Piper is probably not the best name for a girl who might someday study abroad, IMO. ;-)

LOL! Did not know that one. Of course I would like my little one to see the world, so that IS something to consider. Thanks.

I have never been a fan.

never understood the appeal

I actually like it; one of my guilty pleasure names. I do get the image of a sandpiper when I hear the name, mainly because they mean something special to me and my family. I don't think I would ever use it; its not really my husband's style and it is becomming very popular.

I like it, and it actually didn't make me think of a sandpiper or anything like that. It made me think of the actress.

I don't care for this name--it's my stepbrother's surname, so I can only see it as a last name, and that does not up the appeal for me.

For some reason Piper brings up images of ditzy blonde cheerleader, maybe bc the only PIper I have ever known was exactly that. I think it's cute for a child or high schooler but I have a hard time with Piper as an adult in the career world. Not bad just NMS.

It's really just NMS. I feel like it would only work for a certain type of girl...like, I can't imagine a shy, bookish girl named Piper.

hollyish · October 2011

I do like it, but would never use it.

clashure09 · October 2011

I actually do like it, but am not brave enough to use it.

Southern-Yankee · October 2011

It's my dogs name. :-/

HannahO28 · October 2011

I put it in the same category as Bridget or Harper--very spunky and happy-go-lucky. I would imagine a Piper as being someone who mega-cute who doesn't care what people thing about her (in a good way)

This board has always been split on this name, but I LOVE it! We were going to name DS Piper Jean if he was a girl. (After pastor/theologian/author John Piper.) We will use this name if/when we have a girl!

HappyMrsK · October 2011

I have never liked this name. It also makes me think if the pied piper.

This. My husband loves the name, but it doesn't go with our last name.

Dislike.

Loganswife · October 2011

I've never liked Piper, it doesn't seem feminine enough to me. Although, I recently met a little girl named Piper, and it fit her perfectly.

lindslalala · October 2011

I think it's really cute!

Texas77again · October 2011

i don't like it. it sounds harsh.

starrkitten89 · October 2011

I like it alot.I also picture someone with a spunky personality when I think of this name.I wouldn't use it because DH hates it,but it does not have negative associations for me.
