Peter

[jen03]

What do you think of the name Peter?

Dated sorry.

I reckon it's due a comeback. Classic and not currently overused.

Its a proper name. It has the correct spelling. Personally I think it works for all ages. Not overly used. Go for it.

I agree it is dated. Also consider the shortened version, Pete. No thanks

It will be shortened to Pete, do you mind this?

My obese, narrow minded, twat of an uncle. Sorry.

Peter Rabbit does make me a little more fond of it though.

I think it's still in the Paul, Stephen, Dave, Gary camp. All perfectly acceptable for someone 30+ but I would be surprised to see a baby one.

DD (8) has a friend called Peter.

I love it. I was so surprised the first time I heard his name (in a good way), because you just don't hear it for young boys these days.

Love it. My DS's middle name. Lovely classic name and not too many around. Perfect!

Yes, I like it ! Agree with the poster above, it's due a comeback.

I think it's a lovely name!

It wasn't much used when the Horrid Henry books were big, because of Perfect Peter (bit like how The Beano made Walter unusable) but perhaps that's faded now?

I think it's lovely. I know siblings Eva and Peter and think they are classic names that shound great together.

I know a toddler Peter. But then I also know toddlers called Gary and Keith, so I may actually be living in the 1970's nope just rural Ireland which is much the same thing sometimes!

I think it's a great name. Prefer it in full, Peter not Pete.

It was my grandfather's name and because of that I'm very fond of it. I don't think it's dated, it's a classic boys name like James, John, Christopher. Dated is names like Darren, Colin, Kevin.

I love it. I don't think it's dated or belongs with the era of Gary, Alan, etc. To me it's a nice traditional boyish name.

Ahh it's not dated it's a classic!

Never liked it even back in the 70s.

And by the logic of a name being 'dated' - won't a 'modern' name date anyway?

My ds is called Peter. He is 2.

Great name. Almost every name dates, so I wouldn't mind that too much. Easy to spell and unusual for this generation.

Lovely classic name. The one I know isn't shortened to Pete.

I really like it, classic but underused. I wouldn't lump it in with Gary and Kevin etc.

My 6yo is a Peter.

A good solid name overdue for a comeback in the popularity stakes (although we chose it because, not in spite of it not being in the top 100 boys names that year).

I like it! We have two in the extended family, one still at primary school, neither known as Pete (but beware the glottal stop).

However we also have a baby Gary and toddler Alan so what do we know?

I've got one and I know 2 others locally, all of them are under 3! I think it's an under used classic and I quite like Pete!
