Caspian or Peregrine

[cupcakesandcuddles]

Title says it all... Am now about to burst and need a boys name. Already have 2 DDs; Romany Eulalia (Romy) and Antigone Sapphire (Tiggy) and need a boy's name. Me and DH have narrowed it down to Caspian or Peregrine which we both love. I prefer Caspian and always have but DH worries people might think we have been 'inspired' by the new Narnia movie, he likes Peregrine more.
DS's sons middle names will be Xavier and James in any order. Help us oh wise mners!

PS, I Love Gideon. I know it's associated with bibles, but associations can be worse. I guess you like names with a bit of gravitas! So perhaps that puts you off less than an association to the magic roundabout or something.

I also love (and suggest) Barnabus, Columba, Galileo, Prospero, ...

Still thinking.

Caspian is better than Peregrine - you could try Casper instead if you wanted to avoid the Narnia comparison, though TBH I think it'll be the least of your worries with these choices.

I know a Peregrine, he's in his early 30's and he's lovely.
Perry is a great name!

Sylviebruno - you are so familiar....have you namechanged?

I have. Do you mean I am familiar as in over-familiar?!

I could be familiar because Sylvie and Bruno are two characters from a CS Lewis book though!

Are you intending to give birth to the hero of a Mills and Boon novel?

Ha ha!

Wind-up or not I am very grateful you have started this thread. I am having our DS on Wednesday and DH wants Peregrin (as in Took)as a middle name - I shall print off this thread and leave it somewhere prominent (and possibly highlight certain posts just to get the point across fully).

Both great names. I like Peregrine. Think I might prefer it for a girl though, but that might be because I know a wonderful woman called Peregrine.

Of the 2, Caspian. Also love Balthazar, wich is very popular in Switzerland, shortened to Balz, but dh won't let me have it, sniff, tho I don't think I'd dare anyway.

I also don't like Peregrine.

Caspian and Caspar are just about ok.

Isn't there a Caspian sea and a peregrine falcon?
Sorry don't like them as names.

Was thinking of Caspian for DS3. Love the name!

Prefer Caspian but Xavier James on its own would be better.

i like them both. think caspian xavier is a bit difficult to say so you'd better put the james first.

is the water san pellegrino? not peregrine then.

I think Peregrine Falcon and Prince Caspian...neither to my taste although if you put a gun at my head and asked me to choose I would say Caspian.

I might inwardly snigger if I met someone with those names and think they would probably be extremely unfanciable.

You did ask...

Caspian/Casper/Cass are cool. I don't like Peregrine (and like fennel am usually a fan of unusual names)

Bertie?

I think both sound pretentious but Caspian is the lesser of two evils. Cass is a nice nickname. I knew a Peregrine (Perry) once. He had a brother called Merlin. Oh god, I may have given you more ideas....

Gabriel?

Gulliver??

I like Caspian but if you're put off by the film what about Cassian or Cassius

both nice alternatives

peregrine achilles is great

Roger is better than them all - now am off for a swim because I am having a hard time being serious!

Caspian is lovely..in fact i may suggest it to dp if we have a boy
I like romany as well.

awww Twinkie, play along!

Argh, don't like either of them, but Caspian is much better than Perigrine imo, Caspian isn't too bad I don't think.
