Petra Pan

Peter Pan is boy who didn't want to grow up.  So what is the female equivalent of Peter Pan? 

I've decided it's Petra Pan.  At first I thought of Peter Pam, but that doesn't really work, so I needed to come up with a girl's first name that was a variant of Peter.  I found Pernella, Perri, Perrin, Pierette, and Petra.  Since Peter means "rock" and Petra also means "rock" and visually is the most like Peter, I decided to go with Petra.

So now, in my mind, Petra Pan is a girl who doesn't want to grow up.  Petra is me

In many ways I'm already grown up, but in some very definite ways, I've never grown up.  And in some ways I would like to go back to those days when I didn't have responsibilities (or at least not very many) and it seemed like my whole life was still ahead of me -- untold adventures and possibilities just around the bend and waiting on the horizon.

Petra Pan . . . maybe in my dreams.
