[Opinions] Re: Peter
in reply to a message by Speck
I named my son Peter, pronounced with a T, not a D. And it's worked very well - it suits him and everyone likes it.I also saw a reference to the supposed penis connection, but, like you, I've never encountered it IRL. Anyway, it hasn't stopped anyone from using William, and one encounters willie = penis on a daily basis.As far as I know, there was only one other Peter in my son's age group. I named him after a good friend, so I was aware the name was a tad dated but I didn't care.As for the nosedive, I think popular names do very often suffer an abrupt fall in the charts. Sometimes, they bounce back, usually if they were classics to begin with; sometimes they don't. I'd expect to see more Peters now that even the odder biblical names are becoming trendy.
