How is the name Peter perceived? Too dated? Due for a comeback? What do you think of the name Peter?

Love Peter. I'm surprised with the Peter Rabbit movie it hasn't been more popular. Also Peter Pan!

Lovely and strong! A refreshing change from all cutesy Archies, Alfies and Teddies!

Lovely name.

Love it too! Saint Peter = Jesus’s right hand man, guards the gates of heaven. Plus yy to Narnia. Not wet at all. Go for it!

Think it’s fab

It's a strong, classic name, I love it.

I like it!

Love it, and think it’s definitely due a revival. I don’t think it’s wet or weedy at all. It means ‘rock’.

I quite like it, and suggested to put it on our list, but DH said he thinks it sounds a bit “wet/weedy”

Due for a come back definitely. It's a lovely name.

It’s my dads name so I love it and it’s on my list for another boy. But also it reminds me of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe which was my favourite book as a child. I think it’s a Lovely classic name.

I love it. It's an underused classic & must be due a revival.

I’ve always thought of it as an older persons name but there’s four in school right now! All non British children as it happens.
