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

Married to a Peter so I'm very biased but I think it's a timeless name!

Awful, sorry Confused

What is awful about it?

It’s such a dull name.

I feel it's very dated & is more suited to a middle aged man rather than a baby - but I'm not into 'granny chic' names either. Each to their own.

Lovely name

Beautiful name

commanderdalgleish · 01/09/2019 21:29

I quite like it asked my grandad's name but the combination with my surname is extremely unfortunate....

commanderdalgleish · 01/09/2019 21:29

*as it's

I really like the name but we didn't use it due to the péter (to fart) thing (I studied French) as DH is rather windy so we didn't want to tempt fate.

Considered it!

Peter is quite rare these days! :)

ICouldntHelpButWonder · 01/09/2019 22:06

I like it, it's timeless. And I love Pete as a nickname.

Tillygetsit · 01/09/2019 22:52

Love it.

csla · 02/09/2019 21:47

Love it, classic and strong
