Its currently my number 2 name for a boy, so I love it. Its handsome, strong and timeless. I don't like
Pete all that much either, but I plan to use P.D as a nn (kind of like Petey) when my hypothetical
Peter is little (he would be
Peter Declan) and probably just call him
Peter when he is older.
I think initial nns are cute with
Peter, like PJ, PK, PW etc.
