I'm not keen. Makes me think of the Harry Enfield sketch.

I am so sorry but the first thing that springs to mind is Kevin.

Didnt even think at all of the Harry Enfield association ! I was quite young when that was about Grin

I love Perry! Lovely and could be short for Peregrine.

Goes very well with Phoebe imo.

I think for anyone over 30 Perry will always be "Kevin and..."

Phoebe is a lovely classy name and I'm afraid I don't think Perry is either of those things.

Kevin and Perry here too, sorry.

Otherwise I'm sure it might be fine.

Love it!

Although my child addled mind can't help but sing "Perry, perry the platypus" but that's purely because I've been made to watch all episodes of Phineas and Ferb approximately 8,459776 times. Grin

Would have said yes before Little Mix -the good looking Geordie girl is called Perry (or is it Perrie?) so will probably spawn more female Perries?

Other than that I quite like it and had forgotten about Kevin And.

Perry is lovely! I know one (think he's officially a Peregrine).

Sorry, Kevin and Perry here too.

Yeah - Kevin and Perry here.
Nor do I like what I consider to be surnames being used as first names.

Awful. Kevin and Perry, or pear version of cider, or Perry Como. None of which are classy or elegant.
