[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Perry...
in reply to a message by Corbinsmom
Well, a few months ago I started liking this name for a girl, so I did a bit of research and this is what I found...
Peri - Hebrew, "outcome, result"
Greek mythology "nymph of mountains and caves" or "mountain dweller"
Persian fable "fallen angel" or "elf"
English "wanderer"
The variants include:
Perry - "pear tree"?
Pera
Perah - Hebrew, "flower"
Perita
Perrine
Then there's also the words Periwinkle and Peridot.
Hence I would spell it Peri (or Perri) on a girl instead of Perry.
