Brother for Percy

[BlueberryPoppy123]

Wondering what names would go well with Percy, for a boy. I don't like names that are common and I don't like way out there names. I'm more a old man kind of baby namer... Thanks in advance for suggestions

[Bowlersarm]

Stanley
Sidney
Algie
Ronnie

You're being a bit hard on them, I'd say.

[BlueberryPoppy123]

dinosaur I don't understand what you mean by your comment?

[BlueberryPoppy123]

bowlersarm Stanley & Ronnie are very common near me, have a Sidney among friends children and isn't Algie something you get on a pond? Never heard of that as a name... But THANKYOU besides Algie they're the style of names Id go for :)

I know a Percy who has George and Henry for brothers.

I also think these go well:

Arthur
Wilbur
Quentin
Harold

[Ikeameatballs]

And Wilfred.

Perry

Well, would you like to be called Percy (or Sidney or Stanley)? Really? Could you at least use a different style of name for their middle name, so they can swop if they want to?

[BlueberryPoppy123]

Arthur is one on my short list :) DP needs more convincing...

[BettyBotter]

Horace

[DramaAlpaca]

Lionel
Tristan
Gawain
Lancelot

A few Arthurian legend names to go with Percy/Percival .

Wow Dinosaurs.

That's quite rude.

OP, my DCs can count a Percy, Sidney and Sydney amongst their cousins. Sadly only 1 has a sibling (a sister) so not much help!

How about Eric?
Alec?
Frank?
I want to say Brian because that's in DS' name but don't want to be laughed at...

dinosaur I would love to have been named an old fashioned name... Instead I have a name I shared with 4 other girls in my class alone! They're were 9 of us in the same year... My son Percy is 2, it's amazing how often I am stopped on the street when people over hear me talking to him, the majority of people love his name and he is very popular among his play mates, I think he is the type of child who can pull off his name well despite some thinking it has negative associations... However if by any chance he dislikes it when he is older (which I don't think he will) his middle name is Jack so he could change if he'd rather :)

I happen to think the majority of names in the top 100 are awful, everyone has preferences, I don't like to sheep though I'd rather my child was an individual

Well said Blueberry! How about Percy and Chester?

[BlueberryPoppy123]

trazzle Eric was our number 1 until simon cowell used it now DP will never go for it :( Frank is also a no go because family :( cursed by having a large family!!! Most names I love have been taken haha

[sonlypuppyfat]

Oh I'm with Dinosaur all the way what girl ever fancied a Sidney or Percy. They went out of fashion for a reason.

[BlueberryPoppy123]

[trainersandaches]

Albie
Rupert
Hugo
Victor
Ernest
Clement (my fave- DH vetoed)
Francis

[BlueberryPoppy123]

Also when I first saw my DP I didn't think, I must did our his name before I start to fancy him

[banterbus]

I love the name Percy! How about...

Otis
Arthur/Artie
Ron/Ronnie
Jasper
Noah

[sonlypuppyfat]

I bet he is beautiful but when he's older I bet he has a cool nickname.

[BlueberryPoppy123]

Glad to see my top names are getting brought up as suggestions..

Arthur
Rupert
Ernest

Loving a new name now too though Chester! It's very cute

[sonlypuppyfat]

[trainersandaches]

Love the name Percy Btw OP.

I have a cousin named Rupert whose nickname is Roo, he is very cool so I have a fondness for it!

[BlueberryPoppy123]

If everyone liked the same names sonly the world would be a very boring place
