Yep. We can blame my maternal grandparents for that haha. About the only reason for their choice of Perry is because they were in such a rhyming spree with their other kids names, or more so grandmother was. Undoubtedly, Perry would have received another name if not for "My-children's-names-must match-obnoxiously" decision.
Harry (Jr)
Larry
Barry
Perry 'Paul'
Mary 'Cookie'
Sherry 'Penny'
Molly & Polly (Twins)
I wish I was joking

Yep, I can image so! Like why did you do such a thing grandma?!
And no, haha. Sherry's full name is plain old, Sherry Ann. She received her nickname because when she and Mary "Cookie" were younger, they were inseparable and from what my mother told me, everyone would say "You get a cookie for a penny"
I know it's kinda weird. I mainly know them as aunt Penny and aunt Cookie. It's what they are mainly referred as.

I like nicknames that come about in totally natural ways like that! It's neat! I especially find it great that they ended up with names that didn't rhyme with their sibling haha. Penny is also much better than Sherry in my opinion. Cookie has always seemed embarrassingly weird to go by to me (I've met other ones) so I'm glad she has Mary too :)
