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've seen so many names on this forum get described as "slang for penis"

Percy, Albert, Ralph, Perry and evening John the other day

The fact that so many names are apparently slang for penis means I wouldn't see it as an issue!

Peter is one of my favourite names and I'm amazing it's so rare these days!

• even not evening!

My Dad is Peter and he is the most amazing man ever! And yes, it means The Rock X

I like it too. I think it's still pretty common though, I know loads of Peter's and Pete's and many are younger. But if you don't mind that, by all means. My brother's name is Joseph, he has always had at least one other Joseph in his school classes but it never bothered him.

Love it. It’s my sons middle name.

I like it

My BFF named her son Peter. It was unexpected. But I love it.

TBF they have an extremely unusual surname so you would be hard pressed to find another #peter surname and Geoffrey surname'.

I love them both. I thought it was a tad boring at first but then realised how unusual and unique it actually is right now.

Love it. My dad and granddad are/were Peter, I'd be so proud to name my baby after them.

We don't know what we're having however I gently mentioned Peter to my OH last night...sowing the seed

It's a really lovely name. Makes me think of a sturdy but caring character.

I have a teenaged Peter and still love the name. We have a French connection and if the silliness around the 'it means 'to fart'' doesn't bother us then it shouldn't put off anyone who doesn't :)

Love it. It means Peter from Narnia for me which is a v good thing

Was talking to a friend yesterday who’s due a boy next week about my love for the name Peter 😍 classic and not over used, never met an u kind Peter!

Love it. It would definitely have been on the short list for DS, if it wasn't DH's name.

Not my taste tbh but I have to admit it works well with Cameron....

Great name and so rare these days. It's on my list for sure.

Love x

I like it and adore the Cornish Petroc.

I think it's due for a revival.
And as others have said, makes a nice change from Alfie/Archie/Teddy.

Omg I live this name. So refreshing after all the Archie / Finn etc
