Some of those would be fun to use in a story.
ReplyDeleteI loved Proctor (it's on my character name list) - it could work for a surname too! From the girls, Padma has always been a pretty name.

Pipaluk sounds such a pretty name - my middle name is Pauline.
ReplyDeleteI like Priam!
ReplyDeletePaul is a favorite P name of mine.

Oooo, I like Padma!
ReplyDeletePriam and Padma are the winners here. But Priam wasn't associated with much happiness. I mean that Trojan War and his son and all of that was kind of sad, so I wouldn't saddle a kid with Priam.
ReplyDeleteI had a Piten in my last story.
ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with Padma from the Harry Potter books. I have a "Priya" in my latest book, THE LEGEND.

Paulina and Petra are among my fave. Also Prim from The Hunger Games. Pipaluk sounds like 'Pi-per look' when I say it.
ReplyDeleteI had to proctor an exam at uni recently :)
ReplyDeletePentti, i like this one. another great list list, Joy.
ReplyDeleteLove Priam, but I'm a fan of all things Greek. I've bookmarked your challenge for writerly reference--you've showcased several cool character contenders. I featured you in the EOS Behind the Scenes Q edition! Hope you enjoy your visit to Viridis:)
