I am expecting our second and I really like the name Percy. With my DS we didn't tell anyone the names we were thinking of (Arthur) and people seemed to accept it (though I was told later they were unsure when they first heard it).
I have been met with very odd facial expressions when I mention Percy. I thought it was cute! No one seems to like it and my DM says it's a nickname for a penis??!
What do you think?

I don't like it that much either but I've heard worse. Plus, it reminds me of the character from Harry Potter who was not a nice character. On a positive note, it goes well with Arthur.

Would you want to be called Percy??

That's what DM said too @Mxyzptlk but it's not exactly a common phrase these days
