Perses is a female name. Nice and simple and obvious nb Persi.

You could always name her after a hand bag! Lol. As in Mulberry (purse!). Maybe not...

101North · 10/11/2011 10:46

Persia?

Fench for Persia is Perse.

mopsyflopsy · 10/11/2011 11:03

I think Persephone is the nicest - lovely classic feminine name.

Catsycat · 10/11/2011 11:04

Perdita?

toddlerama · 10/11/2011 11:05

I quite like Hesper.

Hesper is awesome - it means the evening star...

MorallyBankrupt · 10/11/2011 19:20

Hesper is lovely.

I love Persephone and Persimmon. They are strong and beautiful names.

Hate Clementine. So frilly compared to the others and a bit trying hard to be on trend for me.

mayanna123 · 10/11/2011 21:13

I agree - Persephone is beautiful, classic and strong.

Hester is a wonderful name and also really like Perdita

mathanxiety · 11/11/2011 16:13

Pernilla/ Pernille -- Swedish name iirc.

I love Clementine and Pearl.

GrimmaTheNome · 11/11/2011 16:17

Persis is a name (used in one of the Anne Of Green Gables series)
Unusual but pretty and the most obvious answer to the OP I think!

MoChan · 11/11/2011 16:37

Persis. I know of a Persis, which is why it got vetoed by my OH when I put it on the list. But I really like it.

MoChan · 11/11/2011 16:37

Sorry Grimma, didn't see you'd mentioned it. That's were I first came across it too.

MoChan · 11/11/2011 16:38

wHere.

My H is sticking.

freerangeeggs · 13/11/2011 18:20

Hesper is one of my favourite names. So don't use it k thx :P

Persis is a pretty cool name too.

Parisa maybe? Although apparently it's very similar to the German word for condom. In Farsi it means angelic.

I'm going to suggest a few slightly mad ones now because, well, why not.

Peronel
Perla
Perlita
Pernilla
Perpetua
Esperance
Esperanza
Jasperine
Peridot
Persia
Temperance
Vesper
Vespera

tiptoptally · 13/11/2011 22:07

Perri
Stephanie (ok, stretching it slightly here!)
Portia

LOVING Hesper! Or why not just go for Perci??
