Lovely name :)

BonnieBumble · 29/09/2012 21:27

I'm not keen. Makes me think of the Harry Enfield sketch.

DorsetKnob · 29/09/2012 21:28

I am so sorry but the first thing that springs to mind is Kevin.

BonnieBumble · 29/09/2012 21:32

What about Piran?

ALittleBitOfMagic · 29/09/2012 21:34

How would I pronounce piran ?

Didnt even think at all of the Harry Enfield association ! I was quite young when that was about Grin

I love Perry! Lovely and could be short for Peregrine.

Goes very well with Phoebe imo.

RTchoke · 29/09/2012 21:37

I think for anyone over 30 Perry will always be "Kevin and..."

Phoebe is a lovely classy name and I'm afraid I don't think Perry is either of those things.

Error404 · 29/09/2012 21:38

Kevin and Perry here too, sorry.

Otherwise I'm sure it might be fine.

No Idea who Kevin is in relation to Perry...?! I don't like Kevin though!

allagory · 29/09/2012 21:40

Oh. I thought Grayson Perry. He is always interesting.

ALittleBitOfMagic · 29/09/2012 21:41

I'm 26 and I know of kevin and perry and have seen the film but was too young to really bother with it .

Love it!

Although my child addled mind can't help but sing "Perry, perry the platypus" but that's purely because I've been made to watch all episodes of Phineas and Ferb approximately 8,459776 times. Grin

BonnieBumble · 29/09/2012 21:41

Piran is pronounced Peran.

ALittleBitOfMagic · 29/09/2012 21:42

Oh I didn't think of platypus either !!! Now I'm really liking it though love perry the platypus !!! Grin and so does DD Grin

Would have said yes before Little Mix -the good looking Geordie girl is called Perry (or is it Perrie?) so will probably spawn more female Perries?

Other than that I quite like it and had forgotten about Kevin And.

tammytoby · 29/09/2012 21:46

Perry is lovely! I know one (think he's officially a Peregrine).

storminabuttercup · 29/09/2012 21:48

I like perry, my first thought was JJ from dawsons creek!

HaggisMcNeeps · 29/09/2012 21:48

It's lovely.

evamummy · 29/09/2012 21:50

I like Peregrine or Perry alot and think it goes well with Pheobe.

fishcalledwonder · 29/09/2012 23:08

Sorry, Kevin and Perry here too.

BackforGood · 29/09/2012 23:33

Yeah - Kevin and Perry here.
Nor do I like what I consider to be surnames being used as first names.

Bluestocking · 29/09/2012 23:36

Awful. Kevin and Perry, or pear version of cider, or Perry Como. None of which are classy or elegant.
