Peregrine? Or Falcon?

[SuperSocks]

So Peregrine is an actual name, which could be cool or could be disastrous, I'm not sure. What do you think? If not Peregrine what about Falcon? Made up admittedly, but kind of powerful?

Are you insane!! Both names ate child cruelty

I'm like both. Falcon is a real name. As in the Antarctic explorer, Captain Robert Falcon Scott.

I considered Peregrine as we liked the nickname perry

I know a Peregrine, he goes by the name Perry.

Peregrine is an old name, nickname could be Pippin like the character in Lord of the Rings.

Oh dear god no

Kevin and Perry though!

I love the name Falco, I know one, he is now a man in his late 20s suits it so much! Very cool.

@Pondtoad

Kevin and Perry though!

Yes Miss Patterson 😁

I really like Peregrine.

I know a Merlin and he is a lovely chap. Peregrine makes me think of Peregrine Worsthorne. Falcon makes me think of the Gladiators.

I actually quite like Falcon and Falco.
Not keen on Peregrine, I find it a bit pretentious sounding.

@TheGreenLady

A Peregrine Falcon is a type of bird.

The OP knows this..

I used to work with a Falko. It's a German name. He was very cool.
Falcon is a bit weird.

Peregrine is unusual but it is a name; would be okay with surname like Smith but Peregrine Windsor-Battencourt or some such would be a bit much.

Peregrine is the name of some horny old viscount with wandering hands and crumbs on his waistcoat.

Both fairly ridiculous. I find a good gauge of a name is imagining that child as an adult introducing themselves for an interview- or their partner repeating their name in the throes of passion…

‘Oh Falcon, Falcccooonnn’ etc

If I met a Falco I'd have to be physically restrained from singing Rock Me Amadeus

We've just been talking about peregrine falcons at work...as in the actual birds. Don't call your child either name please (coming from the person with a pet named Tarquin)

Falcon! Please don’t

Ok for a budgie I suppose. Kind of dynamic.

What’s Merlin got to do with birds?

Ok, through the wonder of Google I see that Merlin is a falcon. I was thinking wizard.

@MissHavishamsMouldyOldCake Brilliant!

I like Robin, Peregrine and Falcon. They're all great! I love all nature names. Just not Great Tit.

Widgeon?
