Hi,
I'm thinking of using Peter James as a name should my baby be a boy. Peter seems so uncommon now, I don't know why I love the name, what do you all think ?

If not Peter we will prob go with James Matthew.

It's not my taste at all, I wouldn't choose it personally. It sounds very old fashioned and dated instead of a classic iykwim.

I know two Peters. It's a good name.
Just don't have a Jane as well.

Love it. It's my DB's name (32) and I've always liked it. He's Pete for short, which I also like.

Name, not male!

Peter James is the male of a crime writer if that makes a difference?

I know two toddlers called Peter. There's nothing wrong with the name but I don't exactly love it.

Peter is a great name! Much nicer than James imo.

It's a lovely name!

(Just don't call a sibling Henry).

Love it.

I love Peter. He'll definitely be the only one in the school. It's due a resurgence, but I haven't heard it for years.

Sounds good
