I immediately think of Perry mason

Would probably be shortened to Pez as a nn

It's ok..but there are nicer names imo

sonniebonnie · 02/10/2012 14:20

I like Perry short for Peregrine.

HiHowAreYou · 02/10/2012 13:18

I quite like it but I think it's too similar to Phoebe really.

TittyWhistles · 02/10/2012 12:30

Perry is a bit girly sounding, even though I know it was a boys name first.

I love Peregrine though Confused

I thought of Kevin & Perry too but it's my 'era', I've only met one Perry and she was a girl.

amck5700 · 30/09/2012 17:22

What about Piers or Miles instead? Similar feel but not so rythmy.

VBisme · 30/09/2012 16:52

I really like it, but would use Peregrine with Perry as NN

I think it's a dire name. Sorry.

iseenodust · 30/09/2012 16:46

Like it and I'm not one for try hard names.

StellaAndFries · 30/09/2012 16:42

I like Perry, it's my bil's name and I think it's unusual without being outlandish.

YouMayLogOut · 30/09/2012 16:38

Surname or a drink.

Ham69 · 30/09/2012 10:07

Phoebe's such a lovely classic and classy name.
Perry on the other hand ........
Sorry, no. And I immediately think of Kathy Burke "fank you please Mrs. Patterson"

Badgerina · 30/09/2012 10:01

Kevin and...

LuellaLovesLavender · 30/09/2012 09:36

Awful.......really truly awful.....and isn't it a brand of crisps?

nooka · 30/09/2012 07:02

As I have young teens/tweens I immediately thought 'where's Perry' which is I guess a good connection. Also perry to drink and then Kevin and Perry (always rather liked Perry).

However aside from that Perry and Phoebe are for me just much too similar.

PigletJohn · 30/09/2012 02:19

two vile teens

watch my link!

Startailoforangeandgold · 30/09/2012 01:27

Pear cider round here.

No idea at all who Kevin and Perry are Confused

Bluestocking · 29/09/2012 23:36

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

BackforGood · 29/09/2012 23:33

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

fishcalledwonder · 29/09/2012 23:08

Sorry, Kevin and Perry here too.

I like Peregrine or Perry alot and think it goes well with Pheobe.

HaggisMcNeeps · 29/09/2012 21:48

It's lovely.
