Names beginning with a P- help

We don’t know if it’s a boy or girl so need a name for both which we really want to start with a P (for personal reasons). I like Perdita and Petra but starting to think they are a bit harsh sounding?
Poppy, Penelope/Penny, Phoebe have been vetoed by DH as have the more traditional names like Peter, Paul, Philip. We are looking for something more modern and cool. Any ideas?

I love Petra, don't think it sounds too harsh.
How about Patrick, Pamela (must be due a comeback!), Prue, Persephone, Paris, Pandora?

Ptolemy - modern?! Grin

What about phoenix?

Scarby9 · 09/12/2020 22:48

I think both Petra ad Perdita are lovely names. In the 60s and 70s they were definitely dog's names (Blue Peter and 101 Dalmations) but we are 50 years on from that now!

Piers ( not modern ) but still works , Patrick ? Pamela ( lovely in a Mitford way as Deborah on an another thread ) & as Pps have said , Prudence ? I think Piper is cute and I do think Peter is classic .

Priya is really nice, as is Poppy, Paloma and Petra. Pia I'd also pretty.
Paul is underused these days, a good solid name, as is Peter.

Piper and Peta would be my favourites for girls.

Patrick for a boy.
