HelpPiper
Opinions on Piper for a girl? Getting too trendy? I used to really dislike it, it makes me think of loud and annoying pipes, but I met a cute little Piper and it has grown on me somewhat. Still wouldn't use it but I'd like to hear your opinions.

Cousin named her baby this.
I hate it so much. It's so "little girly" and "cute" I don't see how in the hell its gonna sound good when she's 23.

ITA with RoxStar's description of it as "Disney-esque."
It's Hollywoody and not pleasant at all IMO.
I think of men becoming fathers for the first time, who misplace their protective instinct and fears about fathering girls, into naming their daughters something unfeminine.
Pepper is a better name than Piper.
Not the worst name ever, but pretty bad.

I don't care for it at all, sorry. "One who pipes" is what I get from it which makes me think of someone who's always whining and complaining.

I don't like it. First of all, in Swedish it's present tense of "pipa", to squeak. So "Lily Piper" means "Lily squeaks" in Swedish! :) (Piper (pr. PEE-pehr) is also a noble family here in Sweden.)
Secondly, I think of the Pied Piper who....drowned children, didn't he?

That's just it: Piper is "little and cute" times 8, to the point of cartoonishness. It's just so Disney-esque. It sounds like a name chosen for a character in a game where the specifics for that character are: "She's nine years old, pigtails, giggles a lot, loves to read, wants a unicorn for her birthday, her best friend is a boy named Snoopy and they like to chase rainbows together."

I really hate it. It doesn't even sound like a name to me.

I think it's a bit trendy, like Harper. It is a family name for us, but we used it on our dog. It's adorable on her.

I used to really dislike Piper, too. I even met a little girl named Piper whom I really disliked as well. It's really awful of me to say I dislike any child. Really, I love children. I had my reasons. But once I got to know her, I ended up realizing that the things I disliked about her weren't her fault, and I ended up having a total soft spot for her. The name grew on me, too.
So long story short, I experienced pretty much the same thing as you. I wouldn't use the name either, but I still think it's sweet. This girl's name was Piper Rose, and even though the Rs kind of blend together, I thought the combo was cute.
