Help[Opinions] Re: Anatole and Peregrine
in reply to a message by Tippins
Anatole isn't really my cup of tea. It reminds me only of Anatoly and the horrible nickname Tolya. Many of my Russian grandma's female friends have a son named Anatoly who still lives with his parents. I always hear: "Our Tolik is too sensitive for...." or "Our Tolik cannot wake up early" or "Our Tolya is again very angry"... Idk, maybe I dislike Anatole-related names because of the associations.
But Peregrine is beautiful! I really like the falcon-connection - Peregrinus would be a gorgeous name I'd love to see somewhere. (falco peregrinus is the latin name for Peregrine Falcon) And, there's Peregrin Took. I like that association though I'm not a LotR-fan - neither of the book nor of the film. Pippin is definitely a neat nickname alternative, although my preferance goes to Perry.
Also, "GREE" has always been one of my favourite phonetic parts - what a shame I dislike the nasty "i"s in Ingrid and Sigrid! But Peregrine - oh that's a majestic name!
