Talk to me about Peregrine.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like it?

I have been crushing on it recently, and DH also likes it. I am just so unsure about whether it could actually work.

We do love it and it goes well with our surname. I love the nickname [name_m]Pip[/name_m]. It’s just too cute.

Is it too weird? Would people pronounce it wrong all of the time?

My DH loves it too. Reminds him of the falcon species - it’s a name that wild and powerful.
I think it goes well with [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] too.

My only reservation is the religious overtone, but most people probably don’t get that when they hear/see the name, so it is probably OK.

I absolutely love the name [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]! It’s unusual, handsome, and appealing. I do think pronunciation could be a problem, but I’ve heard more people say it correctly than not. If people couldn’t pronounce it they could just call him [name_m]Pip[/name_m] - a name I also happen to love <3 I say go for it; it’s beautiful with your daughter’s name, too.

I don’t think the pronunciation would be an issue. [name_m]Plenty[/name_m] of people know about the peregrine falcon, which is pronounced the same way.

I used to [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] this name (for a girl) but now I don’t like it so much… I can see the appeal it held for me, but I don’t feel it. It is a really nice name, though. Go for it!

I like [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]! I wish I had the guts to use something like [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]. I say go for it if you like it!

I actually really like [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]. I think its handsome and unusual without being over the top and the nickname [name_m]Pip[/name_m]/[name_m]Pippin[/name_m] is seriously adorable!

I think it’s really wild yet grown up- I read a book with a character names [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] with the nn [name_m]Penn[/name_m], which I think is very handsome and could work better even in adulthood rather than [name_m]Pip[/name_m]

Thank you! I do like the name [name_m]Penn[/name_m]! I’d never thought about it using it as a nickname for [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]. Now I think about it, it seems rather obvious.

I am really liking it right now. It’s now on our list of possible names for our third!

Ok so one concern which I honestly completely forgot to address. It’s rather close to our daughters name, who is [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] (mag-duh-len). We usually call her by nicknames, so the similarity honestly didn’t occur to me at first. It doesn’t bother my husband but it’s something that does bug me a little.

Doh. Now I’ve remembered that, I feel like it’s a deal breaker. Maybe a middle name.

I don’t think it’s that similar to [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] at all, with the different last syllables separating them enough in my opinion- they have pretty different sounds she I say them

Would you be using nicknames a lot for both of them? If so it’s even less of an issue

I love it. [name_m]Penn[/name_m] is a neat nn idea I hadn’t ever considered, though I like [name_m]Pip[/name_m] quite a lot. For the record, I think [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] and [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] sound fine together. They sound like storybook siblings to me.
