Thoughts on Peter?

[Tom1989]

Hello, me and DW quite like this name for DS1; it seems fairly strong and traditional but not particularly popular nowadays. What do people think of it? Middle name will be George, surname Cameron. Thank you

I really like it, but he will get called Pete, which I also like.

I like it

Love it. Under- used classic name. I like Simon for the same reason.

I really like Peter. Surprised it's not had more of a comeback with Peter Rabbit's popularity.

I love it.

Yes, it’s good.

Good solid name.

A refreshing change from all the cutesy Archie, Alfie, Teddies these days.

I like it

Love it

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

And yes @Tom1989 it's not popular these days but I'm not sure why ! Very underused classic name. Soft but strong.
I'd be more surprised to meet a baby called Peter than a baby called Fox these days

I love it x

I like it. I suggested it for both my dses but dp wasn't keen.

Good name.

My nephew is called Peter. he is nearly 12. people were very meh about it at first. But I have to say it has really grown on me, and there are only compliments. He is the only one in his school, and IMP it is really sute on a baby, suits a toddler and a yoiung boy and it is a name that takes you throuhg the ages.

It is a family name and my SIL was a bit pushed into it. She preferred (from memory) Theo or Toby and another name I can't bring to mind right now. Now she freely admits she loves it.

IMP was meant to be IMO and 'sute' was cute.

I like it, can't use it for family reasons.

I know five Peters - in their 80s, 50s and early 20s.

A solid classic, easy to spell and say, but they'll probably be the only one in their class.

I'm calling my baby Peter when he arrives in 3 weeks

My 80 year dad is Peter and it's the most wonderful timeless name!!

I LOVE IT

It means rock - Perfect name xx

Love it! Refreshing compared to some names you hear nowadays.

Love it. It's a really good name, an underused classic that deserves a revival.

My lovely dad was a Peter. It means rock. And he was.

I think it’s kind of wet. Plus it reminds me of various tiresome fictional Peters, like the one in the Peter and Jane books, the maniacal head of the Secret Seven, bossy mini-patriarch Peter in the Narnia books, Perfect Peter in the Horrid Henry series etc etc.

It’s the male version of Pam, Janet or Barbara for me.

I adore this name and how it sounds. So underused, I can't remember the last young person or child with this name, and he'd definitely stand out among the million Freddies, Arthurs, Teddies and Archies he'll be at school with.
