What are your thoughts on the name Pertunia please.

Also love Perdita. Any opinions?

Petunia Clark. I prefer Petunia to Perdita, but neither floats my boat.

I like Perdita, although it's a little sad (meaning 'lost') but less so Petunia. Possibly due to safety adverts in the 70's about swimming out of your depth!

Petunia sorry is dreadful. NN Pet 😬

Perdita on the other hand is v v cool.

I think it would be Petunia not Pertunia, wouldn't it? Like the flower?

My first thought is Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter books - not great!

Ahh cross posted 👍🏻

Petunia, like the flower?
It's quite old fashioned and it reminds me of Harry Potter's awful aunt.
Perdita is a Dalmatian.
How about Poppy? Penny?

Petunia is lovely.
PeRtunia looks like you misspelled.
