Baby boy names beginning with P

Please help struggling to find boys names beginning with P

All our other children's names begin with P so seems only right to carry this through to our last.
The thing is I don't love any names.
I like something unusual
Our other names are
Posy🩷
Petal 🩷
Pippin💙
Poet💙

Please send help 🙏

At first I thought Percy but when I put it next to each name I couldn’t work out if it was too similar to Posy. Probably not, but when I say all the names in the order you put them, Patch also sits nicely at the end.
sorry about baby Rupert x

Thank you I always say the names together to see what goes with them!!

That's ok it was a horrid time

I like patch but I feel this may be more of a name that's sounds sweet when they are a baby but not sure of an adult being balled patch although my children want me to name him pat after postman pat so I guess he'd get a nn of pat!!

Paris. It’s actually originally a male name - Ancient Greek and also used by Shakespeare.

Makes me think of Paris Hilton and Paris fury too much!

Second Paris as well, went to school with a male Paris. Just read some of the thread is this real? You can't call your son plum surely

I just said I like the name but don't think it's a name I would ever use reminds me of the fairy Victoria plum

How do you feel Plum will come across when he is an adult?

Yea.. it’s a shame they’ve tainted the name a bit.

What about Pierce instead? Seems less surnamey.

Just think it goes with your names. It's simple and unpretentious.

God, please do not name him Pumpkin. He will be ripe for the picking (pun intended).

Plum for me is like patch sweet for a baby but not suitable for a man

I know a bloke called Patch as a nickname for Patrick. If your husband likes Paddy, perhaps Patch when little, Paddy when a teenager and Patrick on the birth certificate?

Other suggestions which might be your sort of thing:

Patriot
Panther
Pluto
Pilot
Pagan
Persimmon (Percy for short)
Porter
Pirate
Pierre
Python
Painter
Panama
Preston
