Because when you sneeze the sound you make is "SNEEZE!"

^No, it really isn't. I've not heard one person say "SNEEZE" when they sneeze, ever in my life. I've heard people say "Achoo", "Atishoo" and other ones, but never "SNEEZE".

Why do you never sneeze just one time?

Some people only sneeze once. Like me but my sneeze is a scream. I sneeze from my throat so that is probably why I only sneeze once. When you sneeze it is normally because your nasal passages are filled with mucus and your body is trying to remove it. When you sneeze multiple times it is just a reaction. Have you noticed if someone tickles your nose or you look at the sun you sneeze? After one sneeze some people have that tickle feeling so they sneeze repeatedly.

Why does pepper makes us sneeze?

The main reason pepper makes us sneeze is that it has a coating on it of a chemical called piperine. This is the chemical that makes pepper spicy. When pepper gets inside your nose, this chemical really irritates its lining, triggering your sneeze reflex to expel it. A secondary reason it might make you sneeze is that pepper is usually ground up into tiny bits, which can get in your nose and make you sneeze for the same reason as things like dust.
