Kate is expecting twins! What do you think she will name them?
JUST KIDDING...actually, I would like to know your opinion on the name/nickname Pepper. I saw it in the credits for "Boardwalk Empire" last night, and I realized I have heard it here and there over the years. Do you think it's a legit name, or is it too nickname-y? What would you pair it with?I don't know if I like it, so be as honest as you want to be. :) "An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way.

It reminds me of one of the little girls in Annie, and of one of the grown men in Mamma Mia!. I think it would be incredibly silly as a given name, and not much better as a nickname, though Penelope "Pepper" or Philip "Pepper" could work to some extent.

You're hilariousLOL. As for Pepper, I think it's silly as a name. Laughable and mock-worthy. But as a nickname, no problem-o.

When I hear Pepper, I actually hear Peppa, and it's closer followed by Pig.
Peppa Pig, oink! My niece is crazy about this TV show, and I know a lot of young children are, the franchise is everywhere in England rendering Pepper, unfortunately, unusable.
I say unfortunately because it's actually on my GP list from years and years ago. I think it is extremely nickname-y and I don't think it should be used as a full name, but it's sure cute!

Pepper could = Philippa?And I'd love to see royal twins, preferably named Bubble and Squeak; BS for short.

I hate imagining having to address a grownup as Pepper, unless it were a pseud she gave people who didn't know her well and I didn't know her well. It's a dog name, trivial.Pepper, her sisters Coco and Cricket, and her brothers Flint and Chip. hahaIf I had to pair it with something in a combo, I think it needs Jean. Pepper Jean. Or something totally OTT like Cayenne Pepper.

Like Nathan Lane's character on Modern Family? I sure hope it's a nn. That's the only way I'd use it.

I don't like it. It's a food and a spice, not a name. It would be okay for a pet.

The only knowledge I have of the name Pepper is Pepper Potts from Iron Man. If I'm correct, in her case it's a nickname for Virginia.I kinda like Pepper, but only in a nicknamey way.

Itchy and Scratchyeta: actually Itchy Charles Arthur Poopyface and Scratchy Philip Quentin Fim-tim-bin-lim Olé Biscuitbarrel
Pepper: well, there's Pippa and Piper, so why not, they could be triplets. The 'hot' jokes would get annoying really fast though. Especially if she really wasn't.

I actually like it, but wouldn't use it. Not strong enough for me. It is very nicknamey. I always think of Pepper Potts on Iron Man. LOL

Okay. I know I've said something like this several times. But. I was so thinking of making a post and jokingly heading it with something about Kate and the royal baby. The only reason I didn't was that I couldn't really think of anything I wanted to post about. It just shows our Karmas are one.I think Pepper is ridiculous as the name of a person. Talk about dog names, as we were just were. It is such a dog name.

A good dog name, but silly on a person. It just sounds dumb.

LololoI like Pepper. It has a fifties rebel-housewife kinda feel to it. In one of my midcentury homemaker mags, there's a contributor called Sally Pepper Lastname-I-Can't-Recall. There's also a Jinx! It also runs along the lines of a rich heiress nickname, what Hyacinth Bucket would approvingly call "very public school", like Sunny or Kiki or Harryo.Ohh it could be a fun nn for Penelope! But if I was to just use Pepper, I'd pair it with something more classic I think:Pepper Charlotte
Pepper Olivia
Pepper Frances
Pepper Cecily
Pepper Lucille
Pepper Moira
Pepper Meredith
Pepper Amy
Pepper Sarah
Pepper Louisa
Pepper Eliza

I do not like pepper as someone's name. Not too fond of food-related names. Olive included. A bit sillyI would pair it with saltPepper and salt (:

Twins would deplete their name pool! The royal baby is boring and you're boring if you care!
Pepper is kind of neat. I might put it on my list of names to use for sims. I wouldn't use it in real life, but I'd probably have a "ha, neat" reaction if I met one.Female, right? It's a word so I can see it for either.
