Anyone know of any other than Petra?

Would like to use a family name as a middle name even if it is a girl but can't think of how to feminise Peter (other than Petra which I'm not loving).

Peronel - lovely name, hardly ever used.

Pia?

Has a different root and meaning but sounds a bit like Peter.

Petula

Petronella.

To be honest, I would stick with Petra if you really want to use this as a family name.

How about Petrina?

wearenotamused - I had wondered about that too. I'm not sure I'd love a man's mn though myself..

You could always use Cephas (less people know it so you could use it for a mn for a girl) And you still get Peter.

peta? (maybe only if you are into animal rights though)

It's not an easy name to feminise. Could you just stick it in as it is (there must be girls with mn Peters what is an s here of there)

Peta is the 'girl' spelling.
