Peter or Mark??

Peter or Marcus

I have never understood why anyone would call their child Mark. It is a synonym for 'stain', and sounds all guttural, like the nose a dog makes. I think it's horrible.

So, Peter . Actually, I do rather like Peter.

Would you consider Luke, btw? Seems of a type with your other two choices, and is far nicer imo.

Peter

Very boring old fashioned names. I gave my son the name Mark 41 years ago. What was I thinking??? Of all the lovely boys names around I settled on Mark. He wasn't thrilled either and has given his own son a much nicer name.

Peter

I'm no help as I love them both - great names

Peter

'Mark' just reminds me of eg skidmark

yes i know a mark and he's a bit of a so and so.... i could be ruder but i won't...

Peter, lovely traditional name which gets loads of hate for some reason It's due a revival!

Peter.

Peter

I have a 5yo Peter, never had a bad reaction to it. Never considered shortening it to Pete!

Love Peter

Love Mark.

I like both but prefer Peter.

In the same vein I really love Michael and Andrew.

both great. If you have a one syllable second name, Peter might sound a bit nicer though.

Peter definitely. There's something about the name Mark that doesn't sound that pleasant.

Mark. But then I would choose my own name 😀

How so?

I was referring to Mark not sounding that pleasant in my pp. I like my name at least it's short.

I have a one year old called Peter never had a bad comment.

Mark

I'm not keen on Mark too 80's. I love the name Marcus, Marc for short.
Sarah and Peter is timeless and classic.
