Persis Helena. But I'd probably lose my nerve and make it Helen Persis! It is nice; but I'm not a Percy fan, having had a couple of uncles, and it's just too close for comfort sound-wise.

I used to adore it, but now I'm less enthusiastic about it.

I love Persis Selwyn's story in the Anne of Green Gables books, so I always associate the name with her.

I like Persis Evangeline the best.

I like it! I remember discovering it when I was about 16 or so and I thought it was just the bee's knees.

It's kind of an odd name, familiar yet exotic, I'm not sure how I would pair it. It makes me think of lace, so maybe similarily lacy names?

I like it and I would pair it with a more common name, probably a little longer one.

Persis Danielle
Persis Isabella
Persis Theodora
Persis Leonora
Persis Gabrielle
Persis Matilda
Persis Felicity
Persis Daphne
Persis Belphoebe
Persis Anneliese

I love it, too. It's right in my wheelhouse. I'd pair it with a classic, possibly old-fashioned middle name, like Persis Josephine or Persis Eleanor.
