Sorry, but I still really like Persimmon.

[allhailtheaubergine]

I'm pronouncing it PER-sim-on. Like the fruit, not the house building company.

I love the nickname Percy for a little girl.

It's pretty. It fits with my other daughter's name.

Is it really so terrible?

terrible assocviations

sorry, as you were

I'm confused. In the OP you say as in the fruit, not the housebuilding company.

And then later you say you've never heard of the house building company.

All credit OP for taking a bashing with good humour

I have also never heard of the builders.

Persimmon is... not to my taste. I thought it was for a boys' name when I opened the thread.

I like your other options though!

Juniper is nice.

I like Starling as a middle name! I like Dove, Lark, Wren and Robin too. Just don't go for Thrush. Or Tit.

How about Persis?

How about Persis?
ooh yes - the only place I've come across it is in one of the Anne of Green Gables series, thought how lovely, unusual but sounds like a proper name (which it is)

Pepperonia?
Plumdufferina?
Puddingista?
Popsiclara?

Popsiclara Eagle Smith.

IS like Tigerlilly!

Be brave and radical and reclaim Sharon

Pernille is also nice

How about Persia? If you have another DD called India it will go very well. Unless you want to be pedantic and call her Iran :)
