[Opinions] I may be alone on this but...

I just dont see the attraction of Piper. I think of someone who smokes a pipe, or those pipe cleaners I think they are that are used in arts and crafts (fuzzy wire things that bend and whatnot).

However, I have always seen a good reaction to Piper on the boards, so I may be standing alone on this one, which is fine with me.

I think of the actress Piper Laurie, I think it's because of her the name is around. I don't mind it, though I wouldn't use it--too"lite".

Agree . . .

But I think of the piping bags one uses to do fancy icing on cakes. And of chimney pipes.

I don't see the attraction either.

I think of chimneys too, but dont have a clue why. Maybe I am unconsiously thinking of chimney pipes even though I am not sure I know what they are 100%

You're not alone. Piper sounds rather juvenile to me, and just has no appeal. And I do think she'd be teased.

I agree. I hate it.

Too me it just doesn't sound nice. It's sounds silly and juvenile. Maybe ok as a kids name, but it's not the kind of name I picture on an adult who is trying to hold a position of respect. Kind of fails the Judge, Doctor, Lawyer test, in other words.

I've also heard it's used as slang for someone who gives fellatio. :-/

yeah

ugh, that fellatio thing. Very unfortunate.

I don't hate the name, really, but I do agree it sounds pretty silly on a grownup.

I think of the Pied Piper and the parade of mesmerized children being led into oblivion, too.

I've never understood either.
