Love this name! The obvious "Perry" nickname makes it gives it extra points in my book.

Kimberly Abbott Says:
Wonder if anyone ever finds baby names in the comment section...

I have a very, very, very slight reading disorder, so sometimes I tend to switch letters around. When I first read this name I thought it said "period". And that immediately made it unappealing.

It's my gemstone, and I've always pronounced it pear-ih-dot. But just recently I heard someone pronounce it as pear-ih-doe. According to Merriam-Webster it is pronounced pear-ih-dot in English, but pear-ee-doe in the original French. So, either pronunciation is fine, really.

Beautiful name, and gemstone. Peri would make a cute nickname, and I love that it is so unusual, compared to other gemstone names.

FantasyandPrayer Says:
Honestly I could see it more on a boy. Still nice though :)

Honey Bär Says:
ok i'm going to make the obvious comment:
anybody who thinks it's "per ree DOE" is a CLOD

ClockworkPrincess Says:
Peridot is my birthstone, and I've always pronounced it pear-uh-doe

JustBrowsing Says:
The gem is pronounced peh-ree-doe. I've never heard it any other way.

clairels Says:
Is this always pronounced Peh-ree-doe, like it says? I ask because there's a song by Joni Mitchell where she pronounces it peh-ree-DOT, and that's what I always thought it was until recently.
