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 🙏

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

How about Pan? - very straightforward to spell and pronounce.

OhMrPleasant · 03/09/2024 16:00

How about Pan?

Just came on to suggest this! Also Pallas, Plato, Perseus?

Have to say well done to MN for the restraint shown on this thread. If OP was on a wind up they would be very disappointed!
Very 'outing' though...

Agree with PP that Percy is used to refer to a penis 😬

I like Padraig, Paddy for nn.

Thistooshallpass24 · 03/09/2024 23:29

I know an adult man called Patch , but only by really close childhood friends and family , his given name is Patrick/ Pádraig

I'm unsure of which spelling but he is from Ireland

ohmyohmy123 · 15/09/2024 22:48

each name you already have has a vowel in second place. You have o e i o so either a or u next.

Pacey would fit and pace is a nice nickname.

Love pilot but worry about nicknames p

arlequin · 15/09/2024 22:51

How about Peter?

CalliopePlantain · 15/09/2024 22:53

Peverell? It means Piper.

my best friend is a Patch - he’s called Patrick but he’s been Patch for 40+ years.

salamithumbs · 15/09/2024 23:48

I think Patrick with the nickname Paddy or Patch would work best! Then you and your husband could use whichever you prefer but your son would still have a proper name to fall back on if he thinks Patch is too infantile

PiggieWig · 16/09/2024 00:02

Patrick is one of my favourite boys names.

You seem to like Patch and DH likes Paddy, which both work as a nickname, and DS might enjoy having a name with a few options.

Puck
Pablo
Pascal
Prince

SnowFrogJelly · 16/09/2024 00:44

Pfaff

Maddy70 · 16/09/2024 07:23

Pau
Pedro
Phillip

All my children have different first initials so post never gets mixed up. This even extends to the pets! However I like the fact your names all end in different sounds for calling them- and if you ever get a dog it’s easier for them to distinguish too. So I would go for an ‘o’ sound.

ButIsItArt · 16/09/2024 09:55

Go for it OP. Call your kids what you love.

Another Cornish boys name to add to Perin:

Peran

Pendragon
Perseus/Percy
Polaris

ohmyohmy123 · 17/09/2024 11:45

Paget is a gender neutral name. I heard it on criminal minds.

EducatingArti · 17/09/2024 12:35

It seems like you like one or 2 syllable plant/nature/ romantic type names.

Out of other suggestions I think Pan, Puck, ( fairy/gods theme) or Petroc, Piran ( Cornish saints) would work well.
Perry goes with a fruit theme like Pippin.
Trees might go with the nature theme (Pine, Poplar, Pear).
There are also animal names like Puma and Panther ( or Panda or Pike I guess).
Other natural names might be Prairie or Palm.

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

Was about to suggest Paris for a boy and I also had Romeo & Juliet in mind.

Prospero for another out there Shakespearean name.

Purcell or Perseus if you like Percy

Prince

Plato/Pluto (we know a Jupiter!)

Prometheus

Poseidon

Your Palm reminded me of Psalm. I think it’s the name of one of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s kids…

Ptolemy

The other names sounds slightly ethereal, and it fits in with that sort of sound.

Pinkiepromise789 · 17/09/2024 14:29

I like:

Pluto - ethereal with a cosmological slant
Pious - biblical
Phlegm - Latin origin
Pariah - French
Pedant - French

DuchessOfSausage · 17/09/2024 18:59

@Pinkiepromise789 , you forgot Planqueur, an elegant but underused French name.

Jasperj · 17/09/2024 21:48

Peregrine - Sophie Turner’s new fella’s name
