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!

is this a test to see who can work out that OP was a piss-take?

They both remind me of work. The oil field is in the Caspian sea and out help desk software is made by Peregrine.

But I like plane Jane kind of names so perhaps my opinion isn't really the one you are after.

Oh, I much prefer Crispin. Or Crispian

There is the original Latin Peregrinus too, of course

Both names are pretentious- sorry!

This is a spoof, n'est-ce pas?

OMG - I'm adding Orion to my list! Well maybe DP would just about let me have it as a middle name. Brian Orion?

Peregrine is an excellent middle name, I wouldn't use it as a first name though!

Assuming this isn't a wind up...

If I came across these names on my child's class list I would think oh god try hard, pretentious, twatty parent alert and would have a mental image of you before I even clapped eyes on you!

I think other parents can call their offspring whatever they like. There'll always be some judgemental bitches like you about though, sadly!

I hope he comes out yelling "FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, PLEASE CALL ME STEVE".

But you knnow, each to their own and all that.

To conflate several threads i've read recently, and with apologies to their originators- "Come on, Pretensiosa, lets's pop along to Waitrose to buy some rice cakes for the treat jar"

This thread is almost 4 years old, folks.

hypoxia · 19/02/2012 23:18

I know, but it's fun to hear what the rabble think of the name peregrine. Only two threads on the name come up with the search function.

seeker · 19/02/2012 23:43

So you revived it so you could call people judgemental bitches. Nice.
