I’m looking for girls names that start with the letter P because my mom and my husband’s mom have the same first and middle initials, PL. P is a difficult letter with few names to choose from it seems.
What are your favorite P names for girls?
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Perla[/name_f]
[name_f]Paula[/name_f]
[name_f]Paulette[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Pamela[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_f]Pauleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippine[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_u]Penny[/name_u]
[name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
You’re right! this was hard. I think a lot of the problem is it’s just not your taste. The ones that came to mind are ones that I don’t completely detest, but probably wouldn’t use myself
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] (i actually love this)
[name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_f]Phillipa[/name_f]
[name_f]Paula[/name_f]
[name_u]Paisley[/name_u]
[name_f]Prudence[/name_f]
[name_f]Plum[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] (again, I like this)
[name_f]Posey[/name_f] (i’d totally use this)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Petunia[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_u]Presley[/name_u]
[name_f]Payten[/name_f]
Some repeats here but:
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Pamela[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Pilar[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Phyllis[/name_f] (I know seems older but I have two friends in their twenties with this as first or middle name and it wears well)
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]‘s my favourite girls’ name, but that’s probably got a bit too much baggage :p. My other personal favourites are:
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Pippi[/name_f] (or [name_f]Pippa[/name_f])
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
[name_f]Parthenope[/name_f]
[name_f]Phyllis[/name_f]
[name_f]Panthea[/name_f]/Penthea
Pompeia (more of a guilty pleasure)
Pyrrha
[name_f]Posey[/name_f]
[name_u]Peri[/name_u]/[name_f]Perrie[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_u]Paisley[/name_u]
[name_u]Payton[/name_u]
[name_u]Presley[/name_u]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Pia[/name_f]
[name_f]Paulina[/name_f] / [name_f]Pauline[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Paulina[/name_f] / [name_f]Pauline[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
Here’s my P-list. Sorry for any repeats!
[name_f]Paige[/name_f]
[name_u]Paisley[/name_u]
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_f]Paulina[/name_f]
[name_f]Pauline[/name_f]
Payley
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Pearly[/name_f]
[name_f]Pella[/name_f]
Pemberley
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_u]Penny[/name_u]
[name_f]Peonie[/name_f]
Peonies
[name_u]Pepper[/name_u]
[name_u]Peppy[/name_u]
[name_u]Peyton[/name_u]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
[name_m]Pim[/name_m]
[name_u]Piper[/name_u]
[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
[name_u]Poe[/name_u]
[name_f]Poem[/name_f]
[name_u]Poet[/name_u]
[name_f]Poetry[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Posey[/name_f]
[name_f]Posy[/name_f]
[name_u]Presley[/name_u]
I like [name_f]Pia[/name_f], [name_f]Paige[/name_f], [name_u]Paisley[/name_u], [name_u]Penny[/name_u], and [name_u]Peyton[/name_u]!
My all-time favorite is [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]. 
I also love [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_f]Portia[/name_f], and like [name_f]Philomena[/name_f], [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], and [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. And [name_f]Petra[/name_f]! I’m so-so about it as a FN, but I love that it reminds me of the apostle [name_m]Peter[/name_m], and it’s so fun and international. I seriously considered [name_f]Adele[/name_f] [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] at one point.
I recently commented on a [name_u]Berry[/name_u] thread about someone who wanted to honor her (grandmother? I think?) whose name was [name_f]Philippine[/name_f], which I am really starting to love! I think [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]'s cute, and I like [name_u]Piper[/name_u] (and [name_u]Fifer[/name_u]), but [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] wasn’t ever my cup of tea, but there’s just something about [name_f]Philippine[/name_f]. I’m especially crushing on [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Philippine[/name_f] or even something like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]/[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Philippa[/name_f].
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], and [name_f]Portia[/name_f] are my all-time favorites, though. I feel like [name_f]Portia[/name_f] should be more-loved than it is; I don’t know why it doesn’t get more love? I love that it reminds me of [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m], and, bizarrely, that it reminds me of the Portuguese word “o portão”, which means “the gate”, lol. It’s probably just because I love the Portuguese language so much.
Also, [name_f]Paulina[/name_f], [name_f]Posy[/name_f], [name_f]Pia[/name_f], [name_f]Parisa[/name_f], Pasqualina, [name_f]Peony[/name_f], [name_u]Poet[/name_u], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f], [name_f]Pippi[/name_f]/[name_f]Pippy[/name_f] (I think [name_f]Pippi[/name_f] is ADORABLE! I would only ever use it as a nn for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], along with [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] (and maybe even [name_f]Lola[/name_f], lol), but I think it’s to die for.), [name_f]Petal[/name_f], and [name_f]Patience[/name_f]. [name_f]Piala[/name_f], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_f]Palomina[/name_f], [name_f]Pearlina[/name_f], and [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] I would list as GPs.
I think @lightasafeather is onto something–while there are a reasonable number of “P” names I like, there are relatively few that I would actually consider using. Out of all of these, I think one has made it on my fn list ([name_f]Penelope[/name_f]), and a handful of others as middles ([name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], Pasqualina, [name_f]Peony[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Posy[/name_f] at one point).
Hopefully you can at least find one great “P” name, though! Good luck!
I like it but wouldn’t use it: [name_f]Paige[/name_f]
My personal favorite is Piper, but I also love Paige and Phoebe. Penelope, Petra, Paisley, Peyton, Pearl, Prairie, Polly, Poppy, Phillippa (Pippa and Pippi make great nicknames!), Patty, and Paula are a few others I can think of.

Thanks, everyone. I like [name_u]Penny[/name_u] , [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] , [name_f]Philippa[/name_f] and [name_f]Phyllida[/name_f] but the grandmother’s are [name_u]Penny[/name_u] and [name_f]Phyllis[/name_f] and the point of using the initials would be to honor them both so I wouldn’t want to seem like it was more after one than the other.
I really love [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] and would totally use it if the chance ever presented itself, but DH isn’t a fan.
My second favorite suggestion is [name_f]Patience[/name_f], but it’s too GP probably, right?
My third favorite would be [name_f]Petra[/name_f] but, again, DH doesn’t like it.
Other really good suggestions were : [name_u]Pascale[/name_u] , [name_f]Padma[/name_f] , [name_f]Paulina[/name_f] , [name_f]Portia[/name_f] , [name_f]Philomena[/name_f] , [name_f]Paige[/name_f] , [name_u]Perry[/name_u] (probably too close to [name_u]Penny[/name_u] and I’d prefer it as a nn, but for what? ), [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] ( does have personal significance, so I’d like to like it, but I don’t really like the sound much) [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] ([name_u]LOVE[/name_u], but DH laughed)
Maybe [name_f]Perla[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]?
What about [name_f]Pacey[/name_f] or [name_f]Paola[/name_f]?
You could use [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] nn [name_u]Perry[/name_u].
