Baby Girl Pepper O'______?

We do not have a due date because we're in the adoption process, which is unpredictable. Our last name is an Irish O'____ name. We now have a Grady, Scarlett, and Vivien. If we adopt a girl, my wife wants Pepper. I'm okay with that, but may be more comfortable with it as a nickname (I'm trying to picture "Judge Pepper O'____"). I'm also worried about the Iron Man issue (Pepper Potts). Thus, we need help with girl P names for which Pepper could be a nickname (Penelope? Persephone?), and/or feedback on Pepper as the real first name, not nickname. Many thanks!

I think Penelope is the best name for a Pepper nickname because it fits best with your other names: Grady, Scarlett, Vivien, and Penelope. Philippa would be another good option. I don't think of Iron Man at all. On its own, I think Pepper is not enough. What does everyone else think? Names, nicknames, on its own?
