why some English add ‘r’ to some words like Peppa from Peppa pig.

Question

I’m American and cannot figure out how the r is added to Peppa’s name when her dad says it. It sounds like Pepper. Not saying it’s wrong. My brain just needs to connect lol

I watched a Rob’s Words video on YouTube where he stated that it was as a way to separate two back to back vowel sounds. So if the word ends with a vowel and next starts with a vowel, an r sound is inserted to differentiate between them
