Perry
About Perry
It's a long time now since this casual but suave name was linked to velvet-throated, cardigan-sweatered singer Perry (born Pierino, son of Pietro) Como's day... and this could be the moment for a reassessment. Other Perry associations are designer Ellis and the fictional Perry Mason and Perry White. There is also the option of taking the long way round to Perry via the more substantial Peregrine or Percival.
Pronounced PER-ee.
As of October 2026, Perry ranked #1373 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #101 in 1880, Nameberry popularity #770.
