Re: Opinions on Peregrine
in reply to a message by HarderToBreathe
This is one of those names that I like on paper. I like the way it looks and I like the idea of it, but when I say it it seems way to clunky. Also, I haven't found any nicknames that I really like. Were you thinking for a boy or a girl?
I don't love Peri/Perry/Perri, but it's the obvious choice
Reg/Reggie could work for a boy or a girl - cuter on a girl because it's sort of oldish sounding for a boy (but my least disliked of the nicknames)
Rin I guess could work but it's a bit of a stretch.
I've only ever heard it pron. GRIN, not GREEN, so I can't really say on that one. I guess GREEN sounds a bit like one is trying too hard to make it sound fancy.
The only Peregrines I've heard of were a real girl on tv (came from a hippyish background), and a male character in a book (fantasy, outdoorsy warrior - which prob made me like it:)).
