Pepe the Frog is definitely a terrible association, since he's become popular among the racist, sexist alt-right. This is something you really won't want to call your kid.

A theory for the origin of Pepe:
It is thought it comes from the Latin inscription associated with Joseph (Virgin Mary's husband), which is "pater putativus", which sort of means "adoptive father" or (more accurately) "considered father (but isn't)". Hence "pp", pronounced in Spanish "Pepe".
Another popular etymology is that Pepe is a reduced form of "Jusepe", the old Spansih form of "José" (Joseph). This is the most widely accepted among experts.

It's a tremendously cute nickname, and it was actually one of my nicknames that my parents used for me when I was a kid. It came from some type of children's program, as my name is nothing like Pepe (it's Marianne). However, it sounds totally infantile on anyone past the age of 12, I'd say.
