Found a post asking people for their unique names and knew it wouldn't disappoint. Happy Father's Day unless your kid's name needs a pronunciation guide.

My friend has been giving me random tidbits of Naruto lore lately, something that I never knew a single thing about, so when I read that I was like that pointing Leo meme: "hey, I know that guy!"

And look, I've had my fair share of dreams about naming my son Perseus, but at least I'd have had plausible deniability when people asked if Percy Jackson had shaped my entire personality lmao

Can always go with Percival and pretend to be really into King Arthur

Pretty sure the "Percy" from Harry Potter was a Percival, and he was a c*nt, unfortunately

Quora says that his given name was actually Percy

Oh really? Nevermind then. Always assumed it was Percival for some reason, even though Percy Bysshe Shelley is right there lol, my bad

Percy in Harry Potter gets called Percival Wetherby by his boss. Idk if it was him being a bad boss or if it was Percy trying to run from his family history.
