Can I?

I'm struggling so much with boys names. Percy has a really lovely family meaning to me and I love it. But is it due a comeback or just no?

Percy to me is either a pig sweetie, or a fucking annoying Weasley brother.

So no.

Peter?

SirVixofVixHall · 06/06/2020 23:51

I love it.

brownhazelgreen · 06/06/2020 23:56

Aw I love Percy!

It's another name for a Penis

Nachonacho · 06/06/2020 23:58

I love it! Grin

AbsolutePleasure · 06/06/2020 23:59

Sorry, but... Percy Pig.

Don't do it.

DramaAlpaca · 07/06/2020 00:22

It's a 'just no' from me.

Cheesypea · 07/06/2020 00:23

Please no. I hope your a troll.

Wewearpinkonwednesdays · 07/06/2020 00:24

No I definitely wouldn't

123Dancewithme · 07/06/2020 00:36

I quite like it!

SionnachRua · 07/06/2020 00:37

Percy pigs are great.
On anything other than a farm animal it's woeful. So wet, meek and wimpy.

IHaveBrilloHair · 07/06/2020 00:40

Pig?
No.

richele4 · 07/06/2020 00:49

I wouldn't

Wheresthebiffer2 · 07/06/2020 00:54

Point Percy at the porcelein.

RoseMartha · 07/06/2020 00:57

For me it is a no. But if that is what you like choose it.

PetraRabbit · 07/06/2020 01:01

I quite like it!

GrumpyHoonMain · 07/06/2020 01:02

No

CrazyTimesAreOccurring · 07/06/2020 01:03

Not unless you are giving birth to a 75 year old with his own allotment. Please, no

Rubybluesy · 07/06/2020 01:03

Pig?
No way

OnABeachSomewhere · 07/06/2020 01:08

Not a good idea.

babynamelover · 07/06/2020 01:09

Maybe Percival nn Percy?

user1493494961 · 07/06/2020 11:30

It's a penis.

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 07/06/2020 11:36

Weirdly I like Persephone with Percy as a nickname for a girl but don't like it on a boy.

A mixed response then. It's so tricky. I don't like any boys names.
