DS3 is due in a few weeks - these are our narrowed down final choices. Which one do people prefer? To go with brothers Maxwell (Max), David and sisters Julia, Hannah. Middle name will be Joseph, surname is Costa. Thank you

I've been watching a lot of Schitt's Creek. Patrick is an absolute doll. I'd go Patrick. (Terrible reason to choose a baby name, I know.)

Peter

Both good names and both work well with the siblings. I like Patrick more but think Peter goes better with the surname - but not a big deal. Not much help here!

Peter

Patrick.

VenusClapTrap · 07/10/2020 22:38

Peter. I like both names but Patrick doesn’t work with your surname because of the clunky c c sound.

foxtiger · 07/10/2020 21:54

I prefer Patrick - I find Peter a bit bland.

CharlieBoo · 30/09/2020 16:58

Love both but Peter if you’re not Irish.. I always expect a Patrick to be from an Irish family but that’s just me x

I came on to say Peter but seeing middle name and surname Patrick flows much better

user1493494961 · 30/09/2020 08:41

Both lovely names but I think Patrick goes better with your surname (as long as you don't call him 'Trick').

I prefer Peter.

SingingSands · 30/09/2020 00:29

I vote Patrick Costa, sounds awesome.

Peter Costa sounds a bit like "Pentecost".

akerman · 30/09/2020 00:13

Peter. (I have a Peter).

Kanaloa · 30/09/2020 00:09

I think Patrick is nicest.

MrsAvocet · 29/09/2020 23:11

I like both but think Patrick sounds better with your surname,

SilenceOfTheEmu · 29/09/2020 23:07

Peter!

NC4Now · 29/09/2020 23:05

Patrick. Lovely name. Paddy is a good nickname too.

Votesforpedro · 29/09/2020 23:02

Patrick

Whatsyourflava · 29/09/2020 22:53

Peter
Love it

DramaAlpaca · 29/09/2020 22:44

Peter, such a good name.

I love Patrick but it's strictly middle name territory for me because I really dislike all the diminutives.

I also think Peter Costa flows better than Patrick Costa.

Tillygetsit · 29/09/2020 22:42

Love both but Patrick just pips it.

Bbq1 · 29/09/2020 20:27

I have a Peter & a Patrick! One dh, one ds. Love both names and both underused in children these days.I like that though as with ds there was only ever 1 child in Primary with his name and i think 1 now in Secondary. In your case I'd go for Patrick as it fits better.
