Peter or David?

[Newsand]

Family reasons to choose one or the other.....

I quite like them both, (and think they will be the only one in their class!) but would be grateful for thoughts.

Does anyone know a Peter or a David under the age of about 25?!

Thanks. :)

[JohnsonSamuels2017]

Peter no, I don't know any that are under 25, but quite like Peter: Peter Pan and Peter Rabbit

[Newsand]

I'm leaning towards Peter tbh. :)

[Reow]

David

[allegretto]

Peter

[Newsand]

:)

I keep saying the two to myself, and can't get on with David. (Possibly because we have a slightly unpleasant neighbour called David).

Peter seems kind of cute for a baby /little boy.

[DeathByHousework]

Both great names!

[Newsand]

Oh- sorry Reow.

[SnickersWasAHorse]

I have taught two Davids in the last few years. Neither English born though.

[Newsand]

My BF rolled her eyes and said they were both so unimaginative, but you don't hear either very often nowadays!!

[TheElephantofSurprise]

Yes! Yes! Peter or David. Either is fine. Use both if you like. Thank goodness for someone with an ounce of sense on a Baby Names thread.

Might I offer the alternative 'Jayden-Caiden-Loopylop-Hayden' in case you feel out of sync with the rest of MN.

Peter is a lovely name.

[Justinny]

The - that's incredibly rude.

[Isthatwhatdemonsdo]

There's a David at the Nursery I used to work. My son who's 19 had a class mate called David. My son's middle name is David.

[NameChange30]

Neither. They're names from our parents' generation. OK as middle names. But a bit old and boring as first names. Sorry!

[TheNaze73]

David is a great name. Peter is a bit meh

[oklumberjack]

Peter. Definitely. I love it.

Yes they were fairly common in our parents day, but these days I haven't heard any in the playground right through to secondary school.

Peter Pan. Classic.

[sleepyMe12]

I've got a Peter 18mths. We always get nice comments on his name.

[BikeRunSki]

I love Peter. It is DS's middle name, but I would have happily had it as his first name. DS is 8.

[Ikeameatballs]

Peter. I suggested it for Ds but now ex-dp vetoed it.

[Womble75]

We just chose Peter for my DS middle name (family reason also) and had so many comments on how nice it is to see the name being used again.

[danTDM]

David, in case he ever lives in the rest of the world.
Translates easily to most European countries.

[YoungYolandaYorgensen39]

Ive always loved the name Peter.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Love David.

[Montypulciano]

Both are fine names but I marginally prefer Peter (probably as I had a grim ex called David!)

Dd2 would have been Peter if a boy.
