[Opinions] Re: Percival vs Perseus
in reply to a message by Bex
Perseus and Percival cause me to imagine two very different men.
Percival sounds gentle with a romantic personality. Unfortunately, he could go the Ludwig II route, depressed and anxious.
Perseus has more of an action adventure vibe. It is bolder and perhaps a little brash. If the meaning bothers you, it could be combined with a middle name with a negative meaning to create a positive. For instance, Perseus Cassian could mean "to destroy emptiness or vanity." Perseus Casimir "to destroy the destroyer of peace."
I like both Perseus and Percival better than Percy. Percy sounds like a snot in a Brittish boarding school.
Theodora and Hermione are both strong female names. Perseus seems like a better match.
