peace I'm a celeb really it's ok Wink

Makes me think of Percy Pig sweets too.

TheHiphopopotamus · 18/03/2017 15:51

Yeah, my first thought was the penis connection (probably says more about me than anything else).

I remember the midwife in hospital saying to 'always point Percy downwards' when changing a boys nappy.

No it reminds me of Percy from Blackadder or a train from Thomas the Tank Engine and apart from that I just dont like it. Sorry. How about Perry?

greeeen · 18/03/2017 16:00

I don't find it weak, I quite like it. It's classic but not overused.

Frouby · 18/03/2017 16:04

I like it. But my grandad was called Percy and he was fab! Not weak at all. A very clever man who did an ou degree at aged 40 years ago to get another job after being made redundant from the pit.

Shopkinsdoll · 18/03/2017 16:05

Haha Percy pigs are lovely. It also reminds me of a cartoon called Percy the park keeper. It had a good catchy tune to it.

ThoraGruntwhistle · 18/03/2017 16:09

Too penisy. Same goes for Ralph.

shirleycartersaidso · 18/03/2017 16:10

Pig. But I love Percy pigs!

Meeep · 18/03/2017 16:13

I have always really liked it!

Gunpowder · 18/03/2017 16:14

LOVE

dogdinner · 18/03/2017 16:16

Love it

DramaAlpaca · 18/03/2017 16:16

Just no.

user1489577919 · 18/03/2017 17:38

Percy on bc or will it be short for Percival? Or Perseus if you're a big Percy Jackson fan...

Dontactlikeyouknowme · 18/03/2017 17:40

It's awful.

nauticant · 18/03/2017 17:41

In my mind Percy = cock.

goose1964 · 18/03/2017 17:41

Awful

TheCakes · 18/03/2017 17:44

I don't think he'd thank you for it. If you like the Romantic poets, what about Byron? Or Samuel/Taylor (Coleridge)

user1489577919 · 18/03/2017 17:45

TheCakes - when I went on the Byron tour, the guide told us he'd had sex with a dog. Shocked my grandma to bits

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 18/03/2017 17:54

No, sorry.

Pigeonpost · 18/03/2017 17:55

Love it!

lazydog · 18/03/2017 18:04

I think he'd be teased because of the penis connection. I wouldn't use it, even if I liked the name.

Sophronia · 18/03/2017 18:19

I like it

TheCakes · 18/03/2017 19:34

Ok, that's just killed Byron for me Envy not envy
