What are your thoughts on the name Pertunia please.

Also love Perdita. Any opinions?

Sorry, I'm another one who thinks of Petunia Dursley and Perdita the dalmatian.

How about Petrina or Petra?

Ah Petunia is too flowery and maiden aunt dash pixie dream girl for me. It’s sounds kinda cool but I really wouldn’t want to be called it

I really like Perdita. Slightly wistful, and Shakespeare is always good. Was Perdy in the avengers really Perdita.

@Powerplant The one I remembered had a 'sailing dingy' in it - do you remember that one?
Sorry OP - I actually like both names.

I just think of an old lady with wrinkled pursed lips looking at everyone in distaste, sorry

@CaptainMyCaptain oh blinking heck, of course it was!!! I'm obviously going gaga!

Quite like Perdita. Not Petunia.

Petronella?
Prunella?

@Scarby9 I do remember it just watched it again but not sure how to post it here! We used to sing her name as Petuuuuuunia - sorry OP

I've never met anyone e called Petunia and automatically think of the flower. It's a bit too out there for me.
