Piper -- Middle Name

So we were talking about baby names this morning and, while he is dead set on this baby being a boy, we were trying to think of girl names (in his words) "just in case." I gave him my very short list of girl names (which I posted here last week, I think?) and Piper turned out to be his favourite, which is also pretty high on the list for me. However, I'm having a hell of a time trying to come up with a middle name that flows well with it. So I look to you once again :)

What would be a good middle name for Piper?

When I hear the name Piper, I always think of Piper Maru, Gillian Anderson's daughter and the name of an "X-Files" episode.

And after that, Piper Laurie...not the best namesake.

I'm a big Gillian Anderson fan, so I meant that in a good way. It's a cute name, too, although I guess it'd be out of the running now, to avoid a kid somewhere having to explain, "Yeah, so I was named after an 'X-Files' episode."

Piper Laurie, I just always immediately associate with her role as the insane mother in Carrie. So...

Yeah.

Oh, and all I meant as far as namesakes go is that Laurie immediately presents itself to my mind as a middle name for Piper, but that I wasn't actually recommending it, considering the connotations. Plus...Laurie...ew.

But I think Piper itself is a very cute name.

Piper Christine!

Piper is adorable!

What about.. Piper Lee or something short and cute like that? What about family names, do any of them work as a middle name?

Tell me about it! I'm due in April and seriously worried that this child is going to be nameless.

Piper Danielle is kind of cute! My bestfriends name is Danielle so I might be a bit biased ;)

I think I say someone post here about a name forever ago? Or it's an LJ user, but I always associate it with Rhiannon. I LOVE Piper, good choice!

...I would totally snark anyone that used Piper on a boy.

Just because it was used that way a bazillion years ago doesn't mean it still applies, times change. Though, you seem dead set on loving anything old and outdated to try and appear 'original'. Good luck with that.

Just out of random curiosity, how old are you?

[identity profile] morphinae.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, but it does. I'd guess still in High School?

It just matters. Most teenage mothers usually do fine, when faced with an actual baby. It's the sick wannabees that really should be focusing on SCHOOL instead of baby names that come up with the horrific, weirdo combinations cuz they think it's cool, or whatever reason you young whipper snappers do it for. And, I think you are trying to be original with that list because you know most people here don't care for that style. :) Buuuuuuuuuut, if you're so well adjusted and secure in your opinions, why do we keep continuing with this thread? *smiles sweetly*

Rofl, I'm totally not reading that, way too long for something I don't care about. Thanks for wasting your time though :)

You just annoy me. I don't really care to have you justify it for me.

You're a snot, to be perfectly honest. And you spam this place with pointless posts. And you're a teenager and really need to have better things to do, or people to hang out with, than a community of (mostly) grown women with children, or a relatively close notion of having children.

Oooooooook :)

iawtc.

Piper on a boy would be humiliating for him, I think.

Piper Madelyn (as long as baby's last name doesn't start with P. Initials PMP could be rough.)
Piper Lillian
Piper Tatum
Piper Avery
Piper Campbell
Piper Emerson
Piper Eleanor

I put Piper into Nymbler and these are some of the names that popped up that I thought you might like.

I love Piper. The first thing that came to me was Piper Louise.

[identity profile] girlsknowbest.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
that's pretty nice. the Louise solidifies the Piper, if that makes sense to anyone (but me)

I like Louisa, too. Piper Louisa might be overkill though.

[identity profile] after-the-ashes.livejournal.com 2007-10-02 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they compliment eachother very well, bring out the best qualities of eachother... Louisa doesn't seem quite right to me...
