Help[Opinions] Re: Perpetua
in reply to a message by Dracotorix
My problem with Perry includes pronunciation. Perry has a short e sound, as in get, but the Per- in Perpetua is the sound made by a happy cat.

True. I think it's more 'Per' in Spanish but 'purr' in English, but I still don't think that would bother me since it's the same with Matteo/Matt, Nathaniel/Nate, Samantha/Sam, etc.
Perhaps it's different because those nicknames you listed are all one syllable, whereas Perry is two.
