Dated or due a comeback?

Peter is a lovely name.

DramaAlpaca · 13/04/2022 22:05

It's nice, an underused classic and I can see it coming back.

Summerofcontent · 13/04/2022 22:06

Be lovely if it had a comeback
I love it

I love Peter. I think it's such a handsome name and there are some great children's literary connection with it (Peter Rabbit, Peter Pan, Narnia). I strongly dislike Pete though.

Noluthando · 13/04/2022 22:09

I have a Peter 11 yrs

Every Peter I've met has been lovely. Needs a come back

Great strong name

CoreyTaylorisHot · 13/04/2022 22:10

Love it!

Ooo I like it Smile

Jk987 · 13/04/2022 22:28

Lovely name

Luredbyapomegranate · 13/04/2022 22:29

Due a come back. Mid century names are round the corner.

You can be at the vanguard, especially if you call his sister Jane.

fitzbilly · 13/04/2022 22:29

I love it and think it's due a comeback.

Hate Pete though. Completely different sound without the soft r at the end

KirstenBlest · 14/04/2022 13:47

Friend has a Peter. It's a refreshing change from the trendy names

greenteafiend · 14/04/2022 14:28

I find it very wet sounding. Maybe it's the "peter out" association.

DogsAndGin · 14/04/2022 14:49

Love it!

KirstenBlest · 14/04/2022 14:50

Good solid name. Means rock or stone

Amdone123 · 14/04/2022 14:56

I love it. I'm mid 50s and grew up with lots of Peters and Pauls. It's a classic name.

darlingdodo · 14/04/2022 15:03

Great name.

autumnboys · 14/04/2022 15:04

I like Peter. One of mine has it as a middle name, as it was my Dad’s name.

DisforDarkChocolate · 14/04/2022 15:07

Excellent name.

Hobbesmanc · 14/04/2022 15:09

Peter, David, Michael, John - all great classless ageless names. But not the short versions - Pete. Dave Mike- unclular names

Greensleeves · 14/04/2022 15:10

I loathe it because of a personal association, but there's nothing wrong with it. A bit wet-sounding.

Roselilly36 · 14/04/2022 15:10

I love the name Peter, gorgeous.

Cindie943811A · 14/04/2022 15:10

When I was young Peter was the name of strong adventurous characters in books and films.
I think it’s a great name and with no nerdy overtones.
I’d go for it if you both like it’s no negatives

resm · 14/04/2022 15:44

I really like it!
