Perdita

I was curious about this name. I heard this name and am quite taken by it! Pronounced per-DEE-tah, its got a fantastic sound to it - I love the 'Perrrr'!

With a fantastic sound the meaning is even better! As many of you will probably be aware, it was created (as quite a few names were) by Shakespeare! A young heroine in "The Winter's Tale" was named so. Her father abandoning her as he thought she was not his daughter. Rescued by a Shepherd she later fell in love with a Shepherd. Of course ending with a happily ever after! It was therefore used for its meaning: Lost.

Some other occurrence of this name include:

• The name of a sky ship in Neil Gaiman's Stardust in which the main characters travel
• The adult female Dalmatian in the 1961 Disney animated film 101 Dalmations
• A minor satellite of the planet Uranus
• A type of American native bees
• Perdita Felicien Canadian track athlete
• Perdita Huston women's rights activist

Names which sound like it include Perlita. Pearl is becoming an astoundingly popular middle names, and it is a variant of Pearl.

And Perita, a Hebrew name, a variant of Peri. It has the meaning Result or Outcome.

These are a few cute names which I hope interest you! They're defiantly quirky, feminine and unused. Get your hands on the names before they get used :D
