Perry has always been a favorite. Petra, Percy, and Percival have been growing on me lately.

What do you think of these names?

---

Paddy (standalone) - hate it
Pádraig - it's ok, but tricky to bear outside of Ireland / NI.
Paige - like it.
Pansy - too big an association with the word, which kind of means coward.
Patricia - dated
Patrick - classic, like it.
Penny (standalone) - prefer Penelope with Penny as a nn
Percival - it's ok. I used to like it more than I do now.
Percy - hate it.
Peregrine - not bad
Peridot - pronunciation would be an issue, but it's tricky
Perry - nms
Perseverance - too wordy to be a name for me
Petra - its ok
Philomel - doesn't sound like a name to me (I know it is, but it sounds like 'Phil & Mel'
Phyllis - nms
Pisces - doesn't feel like a name
Pixie (standalone) - ick
Polly (standalone) it's ok
Posy (standalone) cute
Prince - nms

I like Patrick and Petra, Perry is ok,

I like Paige, Penny, Peridot, Petra, Polly, Posy, Perry & Pádraig

I like Penny, Percy, and Philomel well enough, like Polly quite a bit, though I prefer it as a MN for Mary, and I love Percival and Peregrine.
