Peter.

Mark

I like them both. I'd go with Mark just to have a different number of syllables.

Mark is lovely I find Peter a bit wet

Ellieboolou27 · 28/10/2016 20:40

Never met a horrible Peter Smile
I like mark but ones I've known have been a bit dim

FuckThatToOneSide · 28/10/2016 20:46

I really like both, but slightly prefer Mark.

Mark. It can't be shortened - I don't think I like Pete as a nickname. Although my friend is a Peter known as Pedro.

OdinsLoveChild · 28/10/2016 20:49

I don't like Mark, it's a bit whiney sounding. I like Peter, I even considered that name myself until my uncle married a lovely lady named Peta, pronounced Peter Confused

Peter.

Mark definitely I'm not a fan of Peter at all

JustFoundADairyMilkCaramel · 28/10/2016 21:01

Mark

letmepeeinpeace · 28/10/2016 21:02

My exH is a Mark so definitely Peter! Grin

Peter!!!!

uggerboff · 28/10/2016 21:03

Prefer Marcus. Not keen on Peter at all, very dull.

Foxtato · 28/10/2016 21:04

Mark

SallyR0se · 28/10/2016 21:07

Peter. Though it's always shortened to Pete in the UK, for some reason... Like Andrew / Andy.

Boredenough2bhere · 28/10/2016 21:25

I adore the name Peter. You could do the nursery in a Peter Rabbit theme.

Nospringflower · 28/10/2016 21:27

Not keen on either but if it had to be one Mark is a bit less seventies so would have to be it!

AntiHop · 28/10/2016 21:30

Peter.

booellesmum · 28/10/2016 21:31

Peter

oleoleoleole · 28/10/2016 21:32

Mark and Sarah. Neither can be shortened, Pete can!

NoBetterName · 28/10/2016 21:32

Marcus or Markus (German spelling) instead of Mark? (Love Marcus).

Out of those two, i'd say Mark. Peter makes me think of swiss goat-herders from the '70s children's program Heidi.

Mark
