What are your favourite one-syllable boys' names? First name will be Peter.

Thanks all!

I love Peter! My favourite 1 syllable name is Kit but does that go?

Ooh I love Kit but I don't know if it does work. Sounds a bit Peter Rabbitty?

DS's middle names are Peter Paul, despite not being at all religious.

Eggwhisk · 08/07/2013 20:34

My Ds's middle names are Peter James, I think it has a lovely flow. I love the name Peter, I always imagine a real cheeky little boy.(just like I imagine my dad would have been Smile

Some great suggestions here, thanks. I especially like John, James and George. A couple of the others we can't use because of family reasons. I love Peter Rex too. Hmm lots of food for thought, don't know if we have found the one yet...

Tbh I like James but thought I'd try and help.

John and George are both very nice. John is quite unusual at the moment.

Any reason why it has to be a 1-syllable middle name?

mathanxiety · 09/07/2013 07:22

Not Peter Mark. Tis a big Irish beauty parlour chain.

I like Miles.

I know a Peter Francis and had a relative named Peter Stanislaus. Why one-syllable?
