Opinions on Percy

[ReaganLockWood]

The name Percy / opinions?

I love it, but… it will get Percy Pig comments I’m afraid!

Lord Percy?

You can’t because of M and S and the Percy Pigs.

No.

Since you’ve asked, personally I think it’s awful.

But whatever name you pick, you’ll get a mix of opinions. I’m sure plenty of people don’t like the names my DDs have.

CONTEXT

I highly dislike the name personally (Percy Pig, Percy Pervert) however, my DB and DSIL are thinking of calling their baby it.

I want to see general consensus, and if it’s just me being negative or if others also dislike the name!

Yeah, he's going to be known as Percy Pig. Fingers crossed he isn't fat.

Don’t like it at all

No

Percy the Park keeper is lovely! But no, it’s too old for a baby

I love it, such a shame about thr pig connection

I think it could grow on me if it wasn’t for the Percy pig thing.

I love the name, but I don’t think I could use it now with the Percy Pig connection.

Well it's another name for a willy so for that reason I think it's a bit cruel to inflict it on a child. It is a sweet name though.

I think it’s dreadful. Fine for a dog or a peacock though.

Pig
Lord
Weasley
Jackson

no!

I think it’s awful, truly awful. I can’t imagine looking at your beautiful newborn and thinking ‘yes, he’s definitely a Percy’.

Years ago when my kids were little , late teens now , I remember talking to a Mum in Tesco , little boy in the trolley and I asked his name … Percy …
I wanted to laugh coz I honestly thought she was having me on .
Back then the old man names hadn’t made a come back yet . It was way too soon for Percy

and now I still think we ain’t ready for the comeback of Percy it’s dreadful .

I just kept seeing Percy the tank engine chugging along as I carried on doing my shopping just thinking how cruel someone has to be to put that name on a poor little boy.

It would be ok if it wasn’t for Percy pigs.

My pony is called Percy.

We sing 'Fat Percy horse, going off to war, have you been mistaken for a taaaaaank' over and over.

He is fat.

It's a no from me.

How about Perseus, nickname Percy

Isn’t it another name for a todger?

Have to have a strong character to throw off the Percy Pig jibes, unfortunately. Other than that I think it’s a nice name.

Not a bad idea. Percy/Percival as a given name sounds effete and silly IMO.
