I am expecting our second and I really like the name Percy. With my DS we didn't tell anyone the names we were thinking of (Arthur) and people seemed to accept it (though I was told later they were unsure when they first heard it).
I have been met with very odd facial expressions when I mention Percy. I thought it was cute! No one seems to like it and my DM says it's a nickname for a penis??!
What do you think?

Percy would only be good for naming this little fella not a real human baby!

I like it. I think the Percy Jackson books and movies have brought it back in a good way.

I like Percy. I think it's due a comeback we have enough harrys, Freddie's, Archie's ect.

I don't think you can have two Weasleys.

I like it and know a nearly 2 year old Percy. I do prefer it as a nn for Percival though
