Help[Opinions] Percy
in reply to a message by Bex
Hi. I like Percy much more. It goes very nicely with Theodora!
I think the connotation with the character Percy Jackson (Rick Riordan's young adult mythology adventure book series if you haven't read them) helps freshen the name, while it still certainly retains it's old-fashioned charm. Percy Weasley in Harry Potter could be a detractor for some, but for me that doesn't affect it too much - anything HP is good in my book (within reason!) :) edit: I just remembered that it's also used (a variation) in another book/movie Ready Player One. The main character's avatar is named Parzival after Parsifal (or Germ. Parzifal). I like just Percy though.
I would definitely shorten Wilfred to Will/Wil and think others would too, so personally I'd stay away if I didn't like that nickhame (but I am in the US so maybe there's a cultural usage difference where you are?). I am not a fan of Fred/die so that wouldn't change my mind on the name either.
Good luck deciding and do let us know what you choose!
