Peregrine or Crispin for nn Pip?

Tough choice! With [name]Peregrine[/name], I love the falcon, the [name]Lord[/name] of the Rings, and the Pilgrim baby [name]Peregrine[/name] White as associations. [name]Peregrine[/name] is handsome, distinguished and unusual. With [name]Crispin[/name], I love [name]Henry[/name] V (St. [name]Crispin[/name]'s [name]Day[/name]) and [name]Jane[/name] [name]Austen[/name]'s character Mr. Bingley, via actor [name]Crispin[/name] Bonham [name]Carter[/name], as associations. [name]Crispin[/name] is cheery, crisp (some teasing potential, but “crispness” is not always negative), British, and also pleasantly unusual.

Personally, I would probably lean more toward using [name]Crispin[/name], mostly because a friend has used [name]Peregrine[/name] and I’d feel kinda like a copycat. But I would have a hard time deciding which name I actually prefer. Which name is more meaningful to you?

I agree with [name]Alexa[/name]!

Personally, I think both are awful. Sorry…

[name]Peregrine[/name] nn [name]Perry[/name] and [name]Crispin[/name] nn [name]Pino[/name]/[name]Chris[/name]

Thanks for all of the feedback! I’ve decided to stick with [name]Peregrine[/name], though [name]Crispin[/name] may make an appearance in the middle spot somewhere. :slight_smile:

[name]Peregrine[/name]! I admit it makes me think of [name]Peregrine[/name] Took on [name]Lord[/name] of the Rings, and the nickname “[name]Pippin[/name]”, but that is one of its charms! I’m afraid [name]Crispin[/name] doesn’t seem like a viable name for an adult, but that’s just my opinion. Good luck!
