Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on the name Peri for a girl?
in reply to a message by Guest
Sounds ok but I think it doesn't work in a mostly English-speaking area because I'm used to Peri just being a Greek prefix for words. As a name I'd want it to be short for something else. Perica, Persephone, Perikleia, Perdita, Pernilla, Perrine, Perpetua, Peronel, Persea
ETA: I also think it's totally legit to use a long name and a nickname that happens to be a full name in its own right, and the baby basically gets two name meanings for the price of one. So like Persephone "Peri" would be named for both the Greek goddess and the Turkish name meaning "fairy".
