The name [name]Piper[/name] is really growing on me. We’re not sure yet it it’s the one, but it’s a definite contender. I think it’s spunky and sweet and I think that it ages well. So, I’m looking for some suggestions on a middle name to go with it.
We like [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Ruth[/name] for mn’s. [name]Both[/name] are family names but I’m not sure if they fit. I would really love to hear any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
I love [name]Piper[/name] too - if I have another daughter it will be her name! We are going to use [name]Piper[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name]. [name]Piper[/name] [name]Claire[/name] sounds really lovely! [name]Piper[/name] [name]Ruth[/name] is a bit stilted by the adjacent r’s.
Other suggestions:
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Kendall[/name]
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]

Best of luck, [name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Piper[/name] is cute! My friend just named her daughter [name]Piper[/name] [name]Lydia[/name]. I agree that [name]Piper[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (or [name]Piper[/name] [name]Clara[/name]?) works better than [name]Piper[/name] [name]Ruth[/name].
I agree [name]Piper[/name] [name]Claire[/name] is lovely. I like the suggestions of [name]Piper[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] and [name]Piper[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] - adorable! Other ideas:

P.S. With [name]Piper[/name], consider using one of the new middle names from these lists:
I love [name]Piper[/name] [name]Bay[/name]. There is a [name]Piper[/name] [name]Bay[/name] – in the Arctic Circle, so this name makes me think of the surreal beauty of that landscape – of a sun rising on pristine, ice-ringed, icy blue and white water. It is beautiful idea, I think.
Thanks for all the great suggestions.
bonnie1107, thanks for the links to those lists! There are some great names there.
I actually really like [name]Piper[/name] [name]Bay[/name].
The suggestion of [name]Piper[/name] [name]Clara[/name] is great too, since my husbands grandfather was called [name]Clare[/name]. So Changing it up for a girl may be more appropriate for us.
I like:
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
PiperJune
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Helena[/name]
Although I like the suggestions of [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Olivia[/name] and [name]Isobel[/name] I want to avoid vowel names as I don’t want the initials to spell anything…our last name is [name]Grant[/name]. [name]PEG[/name], POG, PIG!! - not so great. Too bad though!!
Thanks again for all your great ideas.
- [name]Brandie[/name]
With [name]Grant[/name], then, I’d go for a three-syllable middle name. [name]Piper[/name] [name]Helena[/name] [name]Grant[/name] is gorgeous! Are you saying that as [heh-[name]LAY[/name]-nuh] or [HEH-leh-nuh]? I say that latter…

[name]Piper[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name] was on our short list for a baby. We ended up going with [name]Anneliese[/name] [name]Gillian[/name], but in one of those silly ways that life is, we called her [name]Piper[/name] for almost a year, and still do it sometimes in fun.
I know a [name]Piper[/name] [name]Joy[/name], called PJ.
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Piper[/name] [name]Clara[/name] are both really sweet! I loved someones suggestion of [name]Piper[/name] [name]Kendall[/name] too. [name]Piper[/name] is gorgeously cute!
