Considering one of the above for soon-to-be-DS.

Good , solid names I thought...But the other day a male friend said did I realise they were all nicknames for penis? That's rather put me off!
I've heard of John Thomas as a nn, but never Toby or Peter or John without the Thomas!
Would anyone else see this associations in these names?

OP posts:

I actually know someone called John Thomas. He goes by his middle name. John on its own is fine. I have never heard Peter or Toby used as slang for penis.

Any Judy Blume fan knows that the name to avoid is Ralph...

William = Willy = Penis

Yes, Ralph will always remind me of Judy Blume!

Anyone call their son Richard these days, or has it been forever ruined by its nickname and penis connotations?

Never heard anyone use any of those names for a penis.

You would never be able to call...a girl Frances or Mary come to that.

Why not Mary? I don't get it
