Show baby that nerd is the word with the feminine name Pernella. Rooted in Greek and French, it takes after Peter and means "rock" or "stone." Pernella will make for a lovely fit if you're a geology lover or want to help baby crush their goals! This rare choice may also bring to mind Prunella of the beloved children's show Arthur. Like her sister Rubella, she's a total bookworm. With a name like Pernella, baby will be utterly brilliant and as tough as a diamond!
