Perry is predominantly a male name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 50,000 people named Perry in the US today.
The name Perry's root letters are PR.
The letter P bestows the PR names their sense of paternal power, while the randy, racy, romantic, ruddy, raring-to-go letter R evokes a distinct air of ribald ardor. Together, these two letters create the strong implications of the masculine drive found in the words: primal, pride, preachy, prick, predictable, priest, prostate, protector, profound, prizefighter, provocateur, profane, and priapism (a condition of constant male arousal). So it’s no surprise that the names Pierre and Paris evoke images of a lean, romantic Frenchman with a fervor for all things carnal. Perrys on the other hand – as if a little uncomfortable with this powerful libidinous association – terminate their names with the playful and high frequency letter Y.
The Perrys’ passion for socializing permeates all aspects of their vigorously active lives. In fact the boundaries between the Perrys’ work lives and social lives are so blurred that it’s difficult for anyone to tell the difference. Even when the Perrys are relaxing they’re never really at rest. Everyone they meet is a potential business associate, which is why Perrys rarely forget names and faces. Conversely, Perrys often look like they’re goofing off when they’re actually working.
With their intrinsic abilities to put people at ease, the Perrys’ social skills are largely responsible for their successes. They will gladly take leadership roles in the workplace, but Perrys tend to gravitate towards jobs in which their individual efforts can be more clearly recognized. They are ideal for careers in sales, design, entrepreneurship, teaching, and predictably… P.R. representatives.
The Perrys’ tendency to be slaves to fashion is perhaps a comment on their need to feel accepted. They are at the height of their game when they are surrounded by admirers and feel disheartened when they sense the spotlight moving away. But routine and predictability are the Perrys’ natural enemies, and it’s important for them to maintain autonomy in their work. Many Perrys change jobs every three or four years just to hold ennui at bay.
Partnering a PR is not for the indecisive; it’s an all or nothing proposition. So if you’re the kind of person who expects to maintain your independence, you might want to keep on looking. Once hitched, the Perrys’ lovers will find themselves at the center of an affectionate maelstrom, for like everything else in life, they pursue their relationships with a never-say-die approach. And while it’s a pleasure to be on the receiving end of such efforts, prospective partners must be on the alert for an element of possessiveness in the Perrys’ courtship.
