Percival

American painter and illustrator Norman Rockwell’s middle name was Perceval (spelled with a second e rather than an i, but I felt it should be mentioned here anyway). Norman Perceval Rockwell, 10/10 name right there.

Percival Dumbledore is Albus Dumbledore's father. I think that this is why one of his 3 middle names is Percival.

Percival C. McLeach is the main antagonist of the 1990 Disney film "The Rescuers Down Under".

Percival is the name of a Spanish politician Percival Manglano.

Percival "Percy" is the given name of Percival Frederickstein Von Musel Klossowski De Rolo III in the web series Critical Role, played by Taliesin Jaffe.

William Percival Harvin III, aka Percy Harvin, is a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, former wide receiver for 2 National Championship Florida Gator teams.

Percival was the name of Steve Tracy's character on "Little House on the Prairie".

Percival Fraulein, "Swordsman of Gale" is a character in Suikoden III. He is one of the Zexen Confederacy's Six Mighty Knights. Perci's a lady's man.

There was a cartoon character from the '30s (I think) called "Percival Prissyfeather," at least by the host (Fred Sayles) of a '50's children's program called "Junior Frolics." (I don't think that was the character's original name, if he had one.) He was a tall, effeminate bird who sang "Listen to the Mockingbird."

Dr. Percival "Perry" Cox is JD's unwilling mentor on the sitcom 'Scrubs'; he's played by John C. McGinley.

After reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows today, I know that Albus Dumbledore's father was called Percival.

In William Golding's Lord of the Flies, a very small little'un is named Percival. He recites his (very long) name and address constantly, but by the end, when the ship comes, all he can remember is his first name, Percival.

This is one of my favourite names. I don't think it sounds weak or stuffy.

I know it is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore's name, but there is another character who's FIRST name is Percival - that darned Percy Weasley. At least, that's what many fan sites say.

Percy Weasley's FULL first name is listed as Percy, NOT Percival, whereas in the same chapter Dumbledore's middle name is revealed Percival. Percy is often used as a nickname for Percival, but it is ALSO a totally independent English name, derived from the Percy surname.

Percival is the 1st middle name of Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
