[Opinions] Piper and Pepper
There's a post below that requests "spunky" girls names, and I suggested Piper and Pepper while adding that I prefer them as nns. Then I thought, nns for what? So I was wondering if you thought they could work as nns for any of the following:
Philipa/Philippina (although for this Pippa is my top choice)
Perpetua
Persephone
Parthenope
Proserpina
TIA

Perpetua "Pepper" is pretty cute. For any of the others, I think Pepper is too far a stretch. Piper is fine as a name in its own right, imo. Modern and fashionable but perfectly respectable ... more so than Pepper, really.
I love Parthenope and Persephone in their own right, without those nns. Without any nns, probably. (Actually, I do like Seph for Persephone.)

I like the idea of Pepper as an occassional nn for Perpetua. Real cute :)
Maybe Penelope? I could see it working for Philippa, Parthenope
Proserpina or any other P name really.
Pepita, Perlita, Permelia, Persis, Patricia?
I love Persephone, but prefer the nn Sephy for it.

I really can't see Piper as a nn for anything. I've only ever seen it on its own, I think.
I can see Pepper being more of a nn based on personality than name, though my first thought when you asked what name it might be a nn for was Patricia.

I love Pipper on its own. Not a fan of Pepper, but to me it's a personality characteristic nickname (meaning for a spunky child), not something I'd connect with another name.
