Re: Percival vs Perseus
in reply to a message by Bex
I think Perseus is quite a lot more than Percival.I’m bouncing off of a mythological impression. Perseus is a really intense figure. His story is... wilder. I almost find it kind of a scary name. I agree that it’s a beautiful name. I like Percival too, though, even though it does sound a bit dorky in full. I like the “val” meaning valley aspect. It’s just a unique, interesting name. It doesn’t share elements with many other names. And I find the mythological role of Percival more relatable to a regular human role.Percival fits right into the sibset, Perseus would surprise and interest me.
Edits for basic coherence bc i’m on my phone and not flowing.

I mostly agree with thisExcept I don't find Perseus beautiful, and I think more of Perseus "Percy" Jackson than the mythical Perseus. It doesn't sound "wild" to me but maybe annoyingly impulsive.

I feel like from a sound perspective Perseus sounds a bit less 'dorky'. I fully expect most people wouldn't know the mythology so it would be less on an issue
