[Opinions] Re: Peridot
in reply to a message by Billina
If you're talking a human child, then no, personally. Even the nicknames Perry / Perri and Dot / Dotty do not help.
I think it works well for pets or pokemon and fictional characters, but I'm strictly on the feminine side despite finding "Perry" too masculine for my tastes.
Dot and Dotty sound cute, but I can't help but get the "weird old lady" vibe (my uncle's ex-girlfriend)
Perry and Perri are just not cool as tomboy nicknames, unlike Billie, George and Frankie. In fact, it's kinda dorky which is not the vibe I'm sure tomboy girls want to go for.
Not sure why I see it as a feminine name to be perfectly honest. I've been using it as a feminine Pokemon name for most of my life, and way before Steven Universe existed.
