Perdy.......

[mummabug]

I have become a serial poster of baby name questions, my apologies!

Think we have pretty much decided (other names having been vetoed by DH) on Perdy. Was going to go with full name Perdita, but I just don't like it. DH has his heart set on Perdy.

So, firstly, what are your thoughts on Perdy as a name in its own right? I know it means lost, which is a bit negative but I'm not too worried about that.

(I also love the names Juno, Mila and Anouk but all have been vetoed)

Secondly, Middle names!

Perdy Matilda
Perdy Anouk
Perdy Harriet
Perdy Juno

Any other suggestions? I'm sensing I need a long middle name to go with it but brain not functioning. Thanks Mumsnetters!

Yes I would be happy with Juno or Anouk as a first name too. Just need to work on OH and steer him away from Perdy.

I like Perdita known as Perdy. I think Perdita Juno is yummy! Though Juno Perdita is also pretty good.

The name was made up by Sakespeare wasn't it for A winters tale? yes it means lost - but the Perdita in the play is also found. That's the point. V cool name.

Perdy is utterly dreadful.

Don't just steer your DH away, veto it completely.

We were going to have Perdita/Purdy for DD, but we too could not get away from the pervy thing. Shame cos it's a lovely name.

Yeah, def not made up, is Shakespearian and as someone else said, Joanna Lumley's character in the Avengers was called Purdy as was the vet in emmerdale.

I don't think it works either, sorry.

I taught a Perdita who was known as Perdy once many years ago.

I like it but only as a nn for Perdita. On it's own it doesn't seem right.

There was also a girl called Vari in that class too.

Screams pervy at me too
Pervy Juno
Pervy Matilda et

It's a nope from me. I love every single one of your middle names though.

My friend has a dog called perdy!
