What do you think of Peter? What would you use as a middle name? What would you call a brother and sister?

Peter is one of my absolute favorite names. It always has been, and I’ve even gotten crushes on Peters…lol.

I’d make the combination Peter Anthony. For a brother, I’d use Lewis Trevor. For a sister, I’d use Marla Desirae.

Noble, handsome, strong. Few names get such adjectives from me.

I think it feels empty, but it's classic. Maybe Peter Anthony? I would name his brother Andrew and his sister Mary Elizabeth, to keep the biblical theme haha

I have taught, at different schools, with identical twin brothers Peter and Paul; their ln is Anthony!

Oh, what a fun coincidence. Also I like your naming style -- honoring heritage. It's cool and also warm, like their names are fashionable also affectionate to the family.

It's a family name, even though it hasn't been used for a while now.
I find it solid and... boring.
Well, I'd use something unusual for a MN:
Peter Emrys or Peter Endymion
Brother: Nathan Percival or Leo Alexander
Sister: Sylvia Raine or Lilia Nimue

Aside from the fact that in many parts of the US, peter is a slang term for penis, and that there's also the concept of "petering out" or fading out, it just sounds prissy and wimpy.

That's easy - it's my son's name. All his names are honouring.

Peter David Alastair

Possible brother: Ian

Possible sister: Lucy (not the name of his real sisters)
