Pippin, Percival

[17caterpillars1mouse]

What are your thoughts on Pippin nn Pip for a boy?

What are your thoughts on Percival? Do you think it would get shortened? Any other shortening than Percy or Perry?

Pippin is definitely an animal name, for me (my first cat)!

You are having a laugh with us OP, right?

Another all round 'no' for both from me.
Both awful names.

Terrible names even tho my granddad was a Percival.

Perseus NN Percy?

Philip NN Pip?

Pippin is a great name for a Shetland pony and Percival would suit a Georgette Heyer hero.

Neither would work on a real life boy/man. These will be your 'strange names my hormones tricked me into liking' names. Hopefully! 😅

Seriously awful names. Pippin is surely only a dogs name? I've never even heard of a character in a novel with such a name.

As for Percival, would you like to be called that? It's grotesque.

Awful, awful. Do you not like children?

Even Pippin in Lord of the Rings didn't have it as his full name. Pippin was short for Peregrin

Really really bad.

I feel awful writing this as I know it's hurtful when people,slam names you love.
But what in the name of Christ on a Bike are you thinking??.

If you want to give a child a name which will ensure he is mocked and teased until the end of days then Pippin is the way to go. Percival is just the wrong side of old fashioned for me and not quirky just fusty and lumpy

Sorry 🙈

Poor OP, sorry to add to the diatribe, but I think the names aren't that great. Do you have any others on your list?

What about Perryn?

Perryn...really ?

Love Percy. Pippin is a hobbit.

Fucks sake what's wrong with people. All the names in the world and you chose Pippin and Percival 🙄

I think animal not human for both, I'm afraid.

These will be your 'strange names my hormones tricked me into liking' names.

I seriously considered Barnabas /Barnaby. Very seriously. Apologies to anyone out there who has one, but now I think what a lucky escape that was!

I love, love, love Percy. My ds has a Percy in his gymnastics class and he is just adorable. Thanks to Thomas and Friends, Percy was also one of the first names my ds was able to say which makes me love it a bit too.

Percival would suit a Georgette Heyer hero. And this is a bad thing?!

Peregrine is a lovely name. and the name of a Georgette Heyer character

Pippin is Lynda Baron's dog. Pip is cute but short for Philip (like in Great Expectations). Percival is at least a real name, but a bit... Coronation Street. It also makes me think of a pigeon and I don't know why.

Peregrine is a lovely name.

Well this is a blatant lie!

Adore pippin non pip
