thoughts on perry (girl)

MamaFantastic

let's hear 'em!  i've never heard of a female named perry (though other than perry mason, i've never heard of a male perry either).

 

my husband is not sold on any name yet, but we have lots of time to choose.  opinions from perfect strangers are exactly what i need to get a diverse perspective on this!

I don't like it. Sorrry! Its just not a good name for anyone.

A friend's sister is named Peri - it's short for Perigren.  (Not totally sure of the spelling).

peregrine.....  like the falcon? 

i loathe the spelling peri...  it just begs for someone to finish it...  "winkle", "natal", "odontal" etc.

i figure, if i was going to name my kid something a bit odd, i'd rather do a spelling that is a bit more traditional and not so much a prefix.

i'm open to more opinions!  i have a thick skin when it comes to stuff like this.

There are names a lot worse than Perry, but to me it's dated, as in all of the Barry/Jerry/Kerry/Terry names of the '60s and '70s.

I think a more modern twist would be Poppy or Penny or Maren?

I like it. It reminds me of Peri Gilpin, who played Roz on the show Frasier : )

I like it. It's cute and unique.   I also went to school with a girl name Perry.  She was a cute brunnette girl.

I think Perrey Reeves is Mrs Ari Gold on Entourage. It's OK but I tend to agree with a PP that says it reminds them of the 70s B/T/Kerry.

It's ok, I just don't think it's very feminine.

I know a couple of male Perry's so to me it's completely a guy's name and I don't like it for a girl.

I don't like it, girl or boy.  Sorry.

My thoughts on girl Perry: poor poor child...

hopeful:)

I actually prefer it as a girl's name over a boy's name. It's unique without being yoonique.

This is one of the 1st (girl) names I liked, but everyone kept saying it was a boys name.  I knew a girl my little brother's age that was named Perry and thought it was so cute on her.  I have not met a boy Perry yet, but I guess they are out there.  I love it, but I'm sure with any name that is both genders, you will have to deal with that while she grows up.
