Perry

Is Perry a real first name?

Does anybody actually know anyone called Perry?

There are plenty of examples of the name in fiction - Kevin and Perry, Perry White in Superman, and Dr Cox in Scrubs' first name is Perry.

But is it a real name? I don't know of anyone I've met personally, or any celebrity, who actually has this name. Theory is it's a made up name that writers use but that nobody has ever called a child in real life

Any Perrys out there - we'd be interested to hear from you.
