There's a TV series called "Perry Mason".

I know a girl named Perry. I thought it was a little weird at first, but I think it really fits her. I don't think I'd ever name a girl Perry, though.

I was actually very suprised when the site said that Perry was a boy name. One of my best friend's names is Perina. We call her Perry for short.

Perry might be linked to Periwinkle.

I love the name. I think I like it better on guys. But girls would be okay to, I guess.

I've also seen it as a short form of Pericles.

There is a movie called Kevin and Perry.

I have seen the name Perry used as a nickname for the feminine given name Persephone.

John McGinley plays Dr. Perry Cox in the TV show "Scrubs".

I love Perry as a nickname, and would use it for Percival or Peregrine.

A famous bearer is singer Katy Perry, who by the way is GREAT.

I personally think this name would sound better on a girl not boy. It does not seem strong enough to belong to a man.

Christopher Perry Halliwell of Charmed. Goes by Christopher Perry until his identity is revealed.

I don't like Perry as a name at all, but I've heard of a girl named Perry Katherine and that always sounded cute to me. Otherwise, best as a last name.

Perry Smith, along with Dick Hickock, murdered four members of the Clutter family of Holcomb, Kansas, in the late 1950s. This became the subject of Truman Capote's novel In Cold Blood.
Perry Farrell (born Perry Bernstein) was the frontman of the band Jane's Addiction and the founder of the Lollapalooza music festival. His stage name is a play on "peripheral."

I cannot imagine a girl being named Perry. That's like a boy being named Sarah. It just doesn't work. I have only known one Perry and he was awesome so I guess I'm ok with the name. I don't really like it or hate it.

I can't think of anything else than "Perry the Platypus" when I hear this name. I grew up with Phineas and Ferb.
I also think of Perry Johanson (or something like that), one of the many names Mr. D gave Percy in The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.
My sister calls her cat Perry (the poor animal's name is Percy Apollo Nico Romeo Luke de Las Botas).

Perry is also the name of an alcoholic beverage made from pears.

I can't take this name seriously, and I don't think your child's peers would either, what with the Perry the platypus and Katy Perry references that are bound to happen.
