A very sweet but slightly old-fashioned name. My aunt (by marriage)'s mother is named this, so I will forever associate it with a smart, loving, gutsy, witty French woman. I agree that the name depends so much upon the bearer.
To me this name is graceful, bright, energetic and balletic, because it sounds like "pirouette"; but I can also see how it might be unfashionable, or not very useable. I hope the name doesn't leave France, as Americans (like myself) could really butcher the sound (think pur-ET, or PEER-it!). Also I think that this name would only suit a very particular kind of person, and isn't flexible or versatile in that way. In short, it's a lovely, prim, pure, lilting name that I quite enjoy but wouldn't necessarily use myself or recommend to others.
I actually think this name's kind of cute. =)
This is my grandmother's name, the poor thing! It might be the most awful name I've heard. :S
