Comments for the name Pier

Pier Angeli was a famous Italian actress (1932-1971). I think this name works well for a girl and a boy!

Another famous bearer was Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Pier Luigi da PALESTRINA, great Renaissance composer of sublime religious music.

Made me think of the English word pier meaning "a structure built on posts extending from land out over water, used as a landing place for ships, an entertainment area, a strolling place, etc.; jetty." This wasn't a negative thought, but it was my first thought while looking at this name.

Pier Jacopo Alari Bonacolsi (1460-1528) nicknamed Antico, was an Italian sculptor, goldsmith and medalist.
