Pepper for a girls name - Thoughts??

blissmadonna · April 2015

hubby loves this, I'm not sold though... What do you ladies think??

missteacherlady16 · April 2015

I can't. It's a dogs name to me.

bbiutmcph · April 2015

It's a fine "pet" name but not a given name. I knew an elderly lady that went by pepper but her given name was Penelope. I can't say seeing Pepper on a resume or business card would give a positive first impression.

lola2bee · April 2015

Great name for a pet. Ok name for a kid. Bad name for an adult.

saham07 · April 2015

I have known a woman named Pepper, so I am familiar with the name Pepper. I think it is fine and kind of spunky.

hopanka · April 2015

I know a female dog named Pepper.

If you had twins, you could name them Salt and Pepper?

If you want to travel the spice route, Rosemary would be the way to go. Sage and Saffron are okay too. Pepper would be a no go for me.

Pepper is cute for a child but not so cute for a Middle Aged women?

Rabbitheart15 · April 2015

I can actually imagine some very spunky ladies would get away with it. But it is name that would suit only a few people. I don't like names that slap a character on a person. What if you're called Pepper and you're not fierce, hot, in-your-face? What if your shy, cute and average?

There was a character named Pepper in the musical Annie. Haven't seen it since I was a kid but I think she was a bully...my first thought.

beanie1977 · April 2015

I like the name. It's unusual and spunky.

LizWhiz87 · April 2015

I think it is better off as a nickname. What about Piper?

Jags8 · April 2015

Dogs name

MWoodside · April 2015

I absolutely love it. But I think you'd have to meet the baby first. It wouldn't fit any girl, only certain ones

HMLanders · April 2015

I will agree with PP, it's a great name....for a pet.

valeriemarie24 · April 2015

No. Maybe if you get a black and white dog, but not for a human.
I have to wonder how many of these women people know named pepper actually have it as their real first name.

LNic5 · April 2015

For a pet yes, a human being absolutely not

wassuphoes · April 2015

I think of Pepper Potts, Iron Man's assistant.

Great nickname, terrible given name.

holli0801 · April 2015

Nooooo. Fine as a nickname. Good dogs name.

holli0801 · April 2015

Pippa or Piper?

BabysMomma4 · April 2015

It's NMS, but not unheard of. My ex from college is still my friend and he had a daughter a couple years ago and named her Pepper.

whenwillieversleep · April 2015

Only if you're having twins and naming the other one Salt.

Reminds me of Blues Clues a bit.

NotISaidtheCat · April 2015

I like it as a character name...but life is not a novel. Let her develop her own personality, don't force her into one.

beanie1977 · April 2015

I like Pippa as an alternative. I had an amazing student once named Pippa! It has a similar unusual feel, but also sounds nice.

MixedCurlsXo · April 2015

Maybe Piper instead? Not really feeling pepper at all.

You could honestly name her anything & give her the nn pepper. My mom calls me a nn that has absolutely nothing to do with my first or middle name.

magsugar13 · April 2015

I prefer sage

4N6s · May 2015

Terrible

peppers1227 · May 2015

My NN is Pepper, so clearly love for a NN. I think it is cute on a girl but agree with others it could be hard as an adult without knowing personality. For me I always have a formal name to use for professional situations.

neverblushed · May 2015

Too cutesy.

CocoR04 · May 2015

My friend has a little girl named Pepper and I've been side-eyeing the name since she was born. I love creativity and being unique, but Pepper as a given name is IMO a risky move.

brightside7 · May 2015

It's a cute nickname but I can't see her getting taken seriously as an adult with that as her given name.

At work, I deal with a woman named Princess and I kinda laugh every time someone tells me shes on the phone b/c c'mon. Unfortunate b/c she's a smart girl. Anyway, you get my point

groovylocks · May 2015

I like it.. but as a short version of (OMG) SOMETHING ELSE.

It's like Birdie, another great, fun female name. Birdie is usually a diminutive.

MixedBerries88 · May 2015

It reminds me of a Saturday morning cartoon that was on when I was a kid. I think it was Pepper Anne? Anyway, please don't name your kid after something that can be bought at Walmart in a can for a buck (I only say that to give you some ammo against your husband.) Philipa (Pippa) would be a nice alternative! Check the spelling on that one if you like it as I'm unsure if it's one or two Ls.

Emilywooddesign · May 2015

I agree that piper is much better. Good luck

blissmadonna · May 2015

Thanks ladies, I really appreciate your feedback and will be showing hubby
