🌿 nickname ideas

persephonescrown · February 19, 2026, 8:55am

[name_m]You[/name_m] all very kindly helped with middle name ideas for [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]. I would love to explore more nickname options for him [name_f][/name_f]- we flip flop on whether [name_m]Pip[/name_m] is right, and my other half needs a bit of convincing on [name_m]Perry[/name_m]. [name_f]Any[/name_f] other ideas? [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to get as stretchy as you like

There is so many great options with [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]. A cute/fun one that I have not seen mentioned yet is Pipkin (originally a medieval nickname for [name_m]Philip[/name_m])!

[name_f]Love[/name_f], love, love Pregrine “Pip” but also:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Pere[/name_m] (pronunced Peh-reh)
Pipkin
[name_m]Reggie[/name_m]
Ren/Rin
[name_m]Renny[/name_m]
[name_m]Penn[/name_m]
[name_m]Rory[/name_m]

[name_m]Pippin[/name_m] is by far my favorite, but [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] nn…

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Reggie[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Penn[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Eero[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Percy[/name_m] (especially with a middle with an S sound, but I think [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] nn [name_m]Percy[/name_m] itself is fine!)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Perrin[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Gio[/name_f] (ridiculous stretch but maybe workable with an O middle… I know [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] [name_m]Orlando[/name_m] isn’t usable, but maybe something similar?)

[name_f][/name_f]

Good luck!

[name_m]Pippin[/name_m] is my personal favourite for [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]!

[name_f][/name_f]

You’ve had lots of great suggestions, the only other nicknames I could think of were names combined with middles. Something like [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] [name_m]Max[/name_m] ‘Pax’ or even stretchier than that something like [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] [name_m]Flynn[/name_m] ‘Griff’.

Could also…

Thank you all SO much, you have been so creative!! [name_f]Truly[/name_f] having discussed it the last few days I think finding a nickname we vibe with will be the difference as to whether we put [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] in the first name spot or not, so this has been super helpful [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]
