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 Wink

Percy is fab IMO think Willfred sounds good with it :)

Interesting list from 1900 Honey! surprised at Nelson, Redvers and Denis!

HOw about Geoffrey? has a similar feel to Percy and Geoff has a cooler edge to it.

UriGeller · 07/03/2014 17:26

Yes Monty! Or Rufus.

HoneyandRum · 07/03/2014 17:19

Looked up a list of boys names from 1900. Percy was no. 23 and Reginald no.22!

Others from the list
Leonard
Frederick
Cecil
Cyril
Victor
Redvers
Donald
Hugh
Douglas
Gilbert
Montague
Nelson
Denis

Idris was at no.157?? I have never heard of this name, does anyone know anything about it?

HoneyandRum · 07/03/2014 17:10

First one that came to mind was Reg which is a great name and I see has already been suggested a few times. Percy is wonderful.

Walter?
Jameson (thinking of the Just William books and one of Ethel's admirers is Jameson Jameson)
Marshall
Clive
Morris
Maurice

Robin?

whippetwoman · 07/03/2014 13:14

Sorry, that sounded garbled. You mentioned Chester earlier! I only know animal Chester's but it's a nice name. I am in bed poorly so not fully functioning.

RalphRecklessCardew · 07/03/2014 13:12

Stanley or Sidney.

whippetwoman · 07/03/2014 13:12

I know a Roland and a Lowell. I have a cat called Chester and my friend has a dog called Chester. Love Percy as a name. How about Alfred?

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 07/03/2014 11:34

How about Hamish or Angus?

I love the name Percy (not that op has asked anyone to comment on her sons name!)

I know a lovely little Percy with a brother called Gregory if that helps.

I also love Arthur, Albert, Wilfred, Wilber and Rupert. They all go really well with Percy.

PandaFeet · 07/03/2014 00:44

I know a baby Reggie. Brilliant name. And would go with Percy.

I think the old names need a revival.
