Percy

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?

Please don't listen too much to Mumsnet. Names like Percy, Herbie, Barney etc never go down too well on here but in real life there are lots of little boys with these cutesy old man names now.
I think it's really cute. I wouldn't be brave enough to use it, but if I met one I would think it was cute and it would be fine on an adult as he will be amongst other adults with names in a similar style. No young person used the word Percy for penis anymore.

Edmund/Redmond?

No

What about Pearse

What about Pearse

Middle name Nipple?

Maybe if he is going directly to Eton or you want to set up your child for a lifetime of ridicule.

Would you want to be called Percy?!?!

I love it but DH doesn’t so I can’t use it . He just says it makes him think of the pig and he also says it’s a wet name. I really like it.

It's a no from me, but if you love it then you should use it! I don't think it is too out there and it is getting more popular so it won't be an unfamiliar name.

I absolutely love the name Stanley if you're looking for other names along the same lines. Really like Eric too.
