Yay, Yay and Yay again.

Classic name.

Stormwater · 18/09/2011 09:36

Nay. Dull.

DigOfTheStump · 18/09/2011 10:09

yay

littlemisslost · 18/09/2011 10:10

yay I was going to call my baby Peter if it was a boy...Peter pan :-) its a sweet name, not used enough

LynetteScavo · 18/09/2011 10:11

Nice, but dull.

EdithWeston · 18/09/2011 10:20

Lovely.

(Except as a sibling for a Henry).

NormanTheForeman · 18/09/2011 10:25

It's lovely, and would have been one of the possibilities for ds, except for there having been a bit of a "black sheep" in the family with that name. But without any personal connections it's a great name. Classic, but not too common these days. You wouldn't get loads of others in their class with the same name.

IHeartKingThistle · 18/09/2011 10:29

Yay!

SaffronCake · 18/09/2011 10:31

Very cute.

(Haha, not with Henry though).

SecretNutellaFix · 18/09/2011 10:34

Love it.

WowOoo · 18/09/2011 10:36

Yay. Lovely classic name.
Can't believe it hasn't had a revival yet. So nice that it's not common among young uns at the moment.

lchodge · 18/09/2011 13:03

Too plain/common/old-fashioned for me.

tiddleypompom · 18/09/2011 13:07

Sweet - and I've liked all the Peters (and Petes) I've known. If a name can be gentle, I think Peter is one of them.

findmeawell · 18/09/2011 13:08

Nay

whackamole · 18/09/2011 13:49

I like it.

OH doesn't.

Shame as we cannot decide on a name for this baby!

MummysLittleSunbeams · 18/09/2011 13:51

Extremely boring, unimaginative & definitely not due for a revival just yet!

Ihavewelliesbutitssunny · 18/09/2011 13:57

Its a great name, classic but not boring and yes definately something gentle and gentlemanly about it Smile

PGTip · 18/09/2011 13:58

Yay, but I'm biased my ds is Peter Grin as was my late dad Sad

Rhubarbgarden · 18/09/2011 14:00

Lovely. Classy.

Nightstar · 18/09/2011 14:53

Big Yay!

Totally underused right now. I wanted it after High King Peter from the Narnia books, but wasnt allowed, boo!
