Could I please ask your opinions on the name Peter? It's a family name that would be nice to use and is growing on me, but I think it is a little unusual in the sense that it's not very common anymore.

No.

Andrew got equally gushing reviews on here the other day. No thanks. Boring.

If DC2 was a boy, he’d have been Peter.

It was my baby dolls name when I was a child, my favourite Narnia character and a dear family friend who has recently passed aways name.

I’ve always loved it.

My friend's baby is called Peter. It wouldn't rock my world as far as names go but there's nothing wrong with it either.

Classic name. I only know one little boy called it, aged 7.

myidentitymycrisis · 03/02/2018 11:25

love it. its my ds middle name so i am biased

IVflytrap · 03/02/2018 11:25

It's an underused classic. I really like it.

HonkyWonkWoman · 03/02/2018 11:23

Nooooooo! Awful, awful, awful.

MistyMeadow · 03/02/2018 11:22

Yep lovely!

PanannyPanoo · 03/02/2018 11:20

Brilliant name. I don't know anyone under 35 called Peter, know one 4 year old David.
Both lovely classic names. Easy to spell, no explanations necessary, yet not common.
Love the Peter Pan link too.

IggyAce · 03/02/2018 11:18

It's a fine name, not too common but is probably due a come back. I know 2 one us mid 20's and the other is 6.

ReggaetonLente · 03/02/2018 11:17

One of my favourites.

onlyconnect · 03/02/2018 11:16

I love it too. Deserves a come-back.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 03/02/2018 11:14

Really sweet.

Orangepear · 03/02/2018 11:06

Love it!

Theworldisfullofidiots · 03/02/2018 11:06

Love it, would of called my ds it but both my dad and dh are called it.
It's an unusual name nowadays.

glitterballbag · 03/02/2018 11:04

I love it!
It's my sons middle name and my Granddads name absolutely lovely

Annabelle4 · 03/02/2018 10:58

I love it.

FairfaxAikman · 03/02/2018 10:57

I love it. Not unknown, will never need to spell it out but not so common there will be 10 in every class.

A classic that is due a comeback.

blatblatblat · 03/02/2018 10:56

Great name.

ASDismynormality · 03/02/2018 10:55

I love it!
