[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on the name Peri for a girl?
in reply to a message by Guest
It's ehh, okay. Mixed impression.
Sounds just like Perry, which is kind of preppy surname, so there's that vibe about it - seems similar to Teri or Jeri in the 1960s.
I like Teri, though, and I think in real life if I met a Peri I would think it was nice. NMS exactly, but nice.
Considering whether I'd personally favorite it as a name, though ... mostly it reminds me a lot of "peri bottle" (perineal wash bottle or bidet bottle, used postpartum) - that ruins it for me, tbh. And there's the Doctor Who thing, which makes it seem a tad geeky. I don't like the "fairy" meaning.- mirfak
