I like them both. I'd go with Mark just to have a different number of syllables.

Never met a horrible Peter Smile
I like mark but ones I've known have been a bit dim

I really like both, but slightly prefer Mark.

Mark. It can't be shortened - I don't think I like Pete as a nickname. Although my friend is a Peter known as Pedro.

I don't like Mark, it's a bit whiney sounding. I like Peter, I even considered that name myself until my uncle married a lovely lady named Peta, pronounced Peter Confused

Prefer Marcus. Not keen on Peter at all, very dull.

Peter. Though it's always shortened to Pete in the UK, for some reason... Like Andrew / Andy.

I adore the name Peter. You could do the nursery in a Peter Rabbit theme.

Not keen on either but if it had to be one Mark is a bit less seventies so would have to be it!

Mark and Sarah. Neither can be shortened, Pete can!

Marcus or Markus (German spelling) instead of Mark? (Love Marcus).

Out of those two, i'd say Mark. Peter makes me think of swiss goat-herders from the '70s children's program Heidi.
