31 weeks with DS1 and struggling for names. Have a DD called D e l l a J e a n already. We want a traditional but not overly popular name. We are leaning towards Peter. Would you?
DH likes Ernest, Arthur (2 in nursery already though), William, Charles. I like ( but have been vetoed on) Sebastian, Rufus, Hector. We both like Edmond and Edwin, but don't like nn Ed or Eddie....
Any suggestions? Feelings on Peter?

I like it, it's my fabulous dad's name!

Love it. Can I also say how awesome your DDs name is? Smile

You could have Ned for Edmund perhaps?

Really like Peter. We struggle for boys names as DH has a mahoosive mainly male family and they don't have a Peter. I don't know any but it is a good classic name.

Absolutely love it. All peters I know (adults) are good men. It's also in my top 3 (due in 6 weeks) Smile

Love it. But not Pete - refuse all diminutives!

I like Peter. Your DH preferences are pretty boring and popular.

I like Peter and the only non adult one I know is 13 so not overly popular.
