For a girl. Means 'from Persia'. I am. Wouldn't mind Percy as a nn. Any thoughts? Suggested it on another thread and just fancied some feedback.

I like it, but I think you would get a lot of 'what persil?' Type comments.
Are there any other names you like that reflect your heritage?

I like Percy as a nn. Less keen on Persis, how about Persephone?
