What is the consensus on...

Peter?

I like it. I think it's one of those names that hides in plain sight, so to speak. Everyone knows it, but I don't know many who are called it. I also don't mind the nn Pete, and there are a lot of names that put me off b/c of the nn possibilities (I like Christopher but not Chris, Thomas but not Tom, etc.)

The only thing that worries me is that here (don't know about there) it's a minor euphamism (sp?) for penis. So...

Anyway, not pregnant, so it's not an urgent question. I'm just getting my ducks in a row for next time! :)

Really? Nothing? C'mon, MN! :o

I really like it!

The downside is that Horrid Henry's brother is Perfect Peter.

Excellent name.

Peter..hmmm..bit boring or maybe just unoffensive..nothing wrong with it

Love it, seriously considered it for DS, only changed my mind cos a cousin is a Peter and wanted a more unique name.

Great choice.

love it

I really like it.

I like it. It's a classic name and not overused ATM.

Perfect Peter from Horrid Henry.

Or rabbits.

A bit bland and I'm not keen on 'Pete'.

I love it!

I like Peter. Don't like Pete.

I like. The penis euphemism - is that an American thing? I've never come across it.

Not keen. Always think it's a cold sounding name. I also think it's a very straight kind of name - and then I remembered Pete Doherty

I would think of the penis euphemism, I'm afraid.

I only know one school-age Peter. It is very uncommon these days, isn't it?

Love it but DH had bad associaltions so couldn't get him to agree

Ooh I made up a new word

I like it

We don't have Horrid Henry and Perfect Peter here :)

Boring. Sorry.

I like it

I think it is a lovely name. I know a baby Peter and I have a lovely friend called Pete. Fab.

Boring. Sorry.

Never heard the penis thing though.

lovely
