Peter

[LegallyBritish]

How is the name Peter perceived? Too dated? Due for a comeback? What do you think of the name Peter?

I’ve always thought of it as an older persons name but there’s four in school right now! All non British children as it happens.

I love it. It's an underused classic & must be due a revival.

It’s my dads name so I love it and it’s on my list for another boy. But also it reminds me of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe which was my favourite book as a child. I think it’s a Lovely classic name.

Due for a come back definitely. It's a lovely name.

Lovely.

Lovely

I quite like it, and suggested to put it on our list, but DH said he thinks it sounds a bit “wet/weedy”

Love it, and think it’s definitely due a revival. I don’t think it’s wet or weedy at all. It means ‘rock’.

I like it!

It's a strong, classic name, I love it.

Think it’s fab

Love it too! Saint Peter = Jesus’s right hand man, guards the gates of heaven. Plus yy to Narnia. Not wet at all. Go for it!

Lovely name.

Lovely and strong! A refreshing change from all cutesy Archies, Alfies and Teddies!

Love Peter. I'm surprised with the Peter Rabbit movie it hasn't been more popular. Also Peter Pan!

My dad is Peter and he's nearly a pensioner.

Due for a comeback, definitely.

There is a Peter at my GC nursery, I think it is becoming popular again.

I like Peter too
I also really like Robert but obviously few others do as way down popularity list

Classic strong underused. Good name

Really boring!

Nice. Be prepared to be bought a lot of Peter Rabbit merchandise!

DS is Peter. Still love it after 15 years

It's lovely. Strong, classic and easy to spell.

I like Peter and we strongly considered it for ds2 but rejected it on the grounds that we have French relatives and "pêter" means 'to fart'. Just in case that is the case for you too!
