Thoughts on the name [name_f]Perdita[/name_f]? I really like [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] but my husband isn’t too fond of it but hasn’t suggested any alternatives.
What would you pair with [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] for a middle name? Our last name begins with a K and is a single syllable.
We already have two children named [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m] and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u].
Thank you,
S.
[name_f]Perdita[/name_f] gets a massive thumbs down from me. Something about it I strongly dislike…I think it’s the “perd” sound. [name_m]Ivo[/name_m] and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] seem to be such a different style from [name_f]Perdita[/name_f] that it doesn’t feel right as a sibset.
[name_f]Perdita[/name_f], it just reminds me of 101 Dalmations. Not a fan of it at all
I’m sorry but, I really don’t like this name. It means lost!
[name_f]Perdita[/name_f] is not a name that appeals to me. It doesn’t have a great meaning in Italian. I do like [name_f]Dita[/name_f] though.

I’m not usually one to worry too much about meanings but this one does strike me in a kind of negative way and the meaning would bother me.
I secretly love this name. It’s a bit too daring for me, but I think it’s a great stick out/fit in name. Plus [name_u]Peri[/name_u], [name_f]Pia[/name_f] or [name_f]Dita[/name_f] make cute nicknames.

[name_f]Perdita[/name_f], to me, just means lost. If that (obvious) meaning didn’t exist I would think it was a cute name, and I could possibly get past it, but I don’t think it would ever be a favorite.
