thoughts on Piper?

I think Piper can be kind of a fun name, but I'm not sure if I would ever use it. I've been hearing it around a lot lately, so it made me wonder if it's just a super trendy name. 

How popular is this name where you live? Would you ever use it? 

trying for #1 since May 2012... we're adopting! bringing home baby boy in january 2015!

    I think it's trendy. Beyond that I think it just doesn't age well. I would never use it.

    I quite like the name for a human, even though I had a scottish terrier named Piper.

    It's trendy. I do think it's kind of cute, even though it's totally not my usual style, but I agree with pp's that it doesn't age well. I think it's too cute.

    I like it but agree that it doesn't age well. I don't know a person by this name but had a foster pit hull puppy named piper years ago!

    I know of an adult Piper. I like it, but I don't know if I'd use it.

    I've never met a Piper.  It's kind of a GP name for me.  It's the sort of name I shouldn't like according to me usual rules, but I kind of do.  There are a ton of girl names I would rather use, though.

    DD is Piper Julianne, so clearly I'm a fan :)  I've only met one Piper and she was an adult, but I'm not one to worry about a name "aging well".

    It makes me think of a show I really dislike, "Charmed".

    My SIL is Piper. Was class president, is studying biochemistry and is on her way to dental school. She is the only Piper I have ever known, so I think it ages fine.

    We named out daughter Piper, so I obviously like it. I've only seen the name on adults so I think it will age well.

    It's popular near me...for dogs.

    I don't think it ages well.

    Like it, it's on my list.  I only know adult Pipers, so I think it ages beautifully.

    I really dislike.  I keep trying to imagine an adult Piper and I roll my eyes.  It sounds so unprofessional

    Trendy and NMS but not terrible. Reminds me mostly of Piper Perabo and Billie Piper, so kind of 90s?

    I like Piper, wouldn't use it but I like it. Reminds me of Charmed which I also adored!

    I like it but it has gotten popular at least on this board. I would use it if SO hadn't already shot it down. I don't know any Pipers and I think it would age fine.

    It's okay, but not a name I'd use. I associate with this annoying student I know.

    I really like it, but wouldn't ever use it. I think it would be better as a nickname for something more formal-sounding.

    I just don't see what people find attractive about this name.  Pipe - like a plumpbing pipe, a smoking pipe.... or Piper like the Pied Piper.  Why do people think this is a cute name for a girl or woman?

    I don't personally know of any so I don't know how popular it is around here. I think it's a really cute name, but I don't know that I would ever use it.  It strikes me as one of those names that's cute on a little girl, but doesn't transition all th

    I love it. It was on our list until we were forced to accept that it is atrocious with our last name. And we're having a boy.

    My husband suggested this for our baby, but I keep thinking its a dog name and so I could never name my child that.
