I think the NSPCC would get involved.

It's a no from me.

M & S sell Percy Pig sweets.

It was also the name little boys often gave to their willies when I was growing up.

BlueMerchant · 15/04/2019 20:45

I don't like it. I think of a train.

Orchidflower1 · 15/04/2019 20:45

I like it.

Ratatatouille · 15/04/2019 20:43

I know a little Percy and honestly he couldn’t be anything else. He’s a proper cheeky chap and it just suits him. That’s who I think of when I hear the name; not pigs and park keepers. If you love the name, go for it.

Chocolateisfab · 15/04/2019 20:42

Percy the Park keeper

HainaultViaNewburyPark · 15/04/2019 20:40

I’m obviously in a minority, but I really like Percy. The little Percy I know is a Perseus rather than a Percival.

The annoying mummy's boy in The White Horse Gang. Sorry.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 15/04/2019 20:38

The country isn’t ready for Percy’s.

Pig

Pig for me too unfortunately.

Weasley

DramaAlpaca · 15/04/2019 20:36

It's slang for penis too. Just no.

legalseagull · 15/04/2019 20:34

Pig. Sorry
