Lately I’ve been vacillating about [name]Peregrine[/name]. I can’t decide if I like it or not. What are your thoughts? Can you make a case either for or against [name]Peregrine[/name]? I’ve also been considering [name]Perry[/name] or [name]Perrin[/name]. It’s the [name]Per[/name]- beginning I’m most attracted to, I think.
Yes yes! I love this name and would use it if my husband would let me! It is handsome, strong, unique, literary, and makes me think of knights. [name]Perrin[/name] is a cool nickname and I would just swoon to meet a man named [name]Peregrine[/name].
I love [name]Peregrine[/name] and I think it is completely usable! Of course my opinion may not be the best, since I was totally considering using [name]Peregrine[/name] for a girl until I chickened out.
I already liked this name, and after following saracita00’s naming journey for her fourth child, third son, who arrived in [name]April[/name] and was named [name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Wesley[/name] [name]Donald[/name], I am completely on board with [name]Peregrine[/name]. It has history (Pilgrim baby [name]Peregrine[/name] White), nature ties (the peregrine falcon), and literary cred (Tolkien hobbit character [name]Peregrin[/name] Took.)
[name]Peregrine[/name] does seem a bit–rarefied, perhaps?–for everyday use, but I think you’d quickly get used to it. And it has a wealth of possible nicknames. saracita00’s son is going by [name]Pippin[/name], which is [name]Peregrin[/name] Took’s nickname and which I think is beyond cute for a baby boy!
I know so many people who like it, but I just cannot get behind this one. I don’t think it sounds nice at all, it’s not natural sounding to me for some reason, and the only thing I think of when I see it is ‘[name]Peregrine[/name] [name]Falcon[/name]’.
Not a fan at all.
I love it because of the falcon connection, but I’ve decided it’s just too long for my tastes. My name is just seven letters long, and that length annoys me sometimes. But I still love it. It jumps on and off my list all the time. My other concern is that I’ve heard it sounds rather snooty, which is not an image I want at all.
I quite like it.
I love the [name]Pere[/name] start, but I’m not a fan of the name. It’s just not my style but I can defiantly see the attraction you have to the name 
Yes yes yes
I like it with the Tolkien connection and [name]Pippin[/name] nickname 
I love this name and recently mentioned it to my husband who also loved it. He was immediately drawn to the historical and literary ties like me. It is certainly a rarefied name worthy of an upperclass British birth announcement, but for me, (I’m upper Middle English) that’s part of the charm. I love both the [name]Perry[/name] and [name]Perrin[/name] nn - the latter is certainly a more modern, fresh nn. I’m a big fan and its on my list, but I don’t know if I’ll pluck up the courage to use it, esp since I live in New Zealand.
I have to vote “no”. Too much name, and not very masculine sounding to me.
I absolutely love [name]Peregrine[/name]! It is such a strong and complete name that also offers plenty of handsome nn’s. In my mind, the meaning of “pilgrim” is wonderfully linked to the character of [name]Pippin[/name], who is both a brave and cheerful namesake. I love that it simultaneously strikes me as a literary choice And a nature name. Being the fastest bird in the sky makes the peregrine falcon quite a masculine animal to associate with. I think this name has every reason to work out extremely well for a little boy! Definitely use it. =]
I love [name]Peregrine[/name] - it’s sound, it’s meaning, it’s diminutives, and it’s association with literature and the falcon. All around win for me.
[name]Peregrine[/name] is unusual, handsome, literary, distinguished and quirky! Can’t think of any negatives! [name]Love[/name] [name]Perry[/name] and [name]Pip[/name] as nn’s. Be brave and go for it!
What @[name]Mischa[/name] said! I vote yes.
Another vote for [name]Peregrine[/name] with nn [name]Perry[/name], [name]Perrin[/name], or [name]Pip[/name]!
I love the connotations and literary connections as well. I knew a guy from [name]Sweden[/name] named [name]Per[/name] (pronounced “PAIR”, like the beginning of [name]Perry[/name] or [name]Peregrine[/name]. It’s a form of [name]Peter[/name], I believe), and that could work well as a nickname or even a standalone if you’d rather go minimalist.
[name]Love[/name] it! I’m considering it as a middle name for [name]Linus[/name]!
Thanks for all of the feedback. [name]Perrin[/name] is a diminutive of [name]Peter[/name]. I like [name]Perrin[/name] and [name]Perry[/name] on their own, not as nicknames for [name]Peregrine[/name] (even if they do work). I really don’t like [name]Pip[/name] or [name]Pippin[/name]… I’m reminded of “pipsqueak.” I’m still undecided on [name]Peregrine[/name]. I’ll keep it on my “maybe” list.
