Help[Opinions] Re: Percival
in reply to a message by Llewella
Have you ever read / listened to any P.G. Wodehouse? His comic characters all have names like Percival.
I don't know about other posters, but that's where my love of old English names like Percival comes from. Others: Bertram (Bertie), Eustace, Oswald, Honoria, Gladys, etc. They brighten my day just thinking about them -- their characters are so funny.
I realize most of these names are not user-friendly in the U.S. (where I am.) But for sheer love of hypothetical names, Wodehouse is a garden of delights.
