I've met so many cats with 'purr' names - Percy, Percival, Perdita - that they hardly seem human any more. I had an elderly relative who was either Percival or Percy, but he died when I was a toddler so I've got no memories of him.
I prefer Percival. Percy on its own used to be a social-climber of a lnfn, and the -y ending makes it sound, not exactly feminine but not exactly macho either. Percival has a good Arthurian vibe, but I'd only consider it as a mn, if at all.

I like it but I don't know how usable it is.
I've loved it for at least 5 years now because I love the sound and the Arthurian knight association. I prefer as it as a mn and I may use it for the mn of one of my future children. Percy is a cute nn and Perry is also good while being less cute.

He's delightful nerdy and I think his little glasses are adorable. I hope he will tutor my kids one day.
I love it! Though etymologically unrelated, Percy is an adorable nickname.
