佩佩

佩佩 (Pèipei) is a doubled-syllable Chinese nickname (like 莉莉, 圆圆) — affectionate and feminine. It also serves as the Chinese transliteration of foreign names 'Pepe' / 'Pepa' (Spanish/Portuguese) and Portuguese footballer Pepe (Képler Laveran Lima Ferreira), often rendered 佩佩 in sports media.

Reduplicating a single character is a common pet-name pattern in Mandarin (毛毛 Máomao, 兰兰 Lánlan). The second syllable usually goes neutral tone in casual speech, hence Pèipei rather than Pèipèi.
