Patrick or Peter

I'd like to use Patrick as a fn, but I'm worried it would be too plain compared to Myrtle. Same goes for Peter.

I dislike Patrick because I don't like any of its nicknames but I do really like Peter. And I think Myrtle and Peter go nicely together... it seems like a sturdier set than Myrtle and Elwood, which comes off a little more flighty and self-conscious. Also I think Peter Elwood would be an awesomely unexpected combo

I really like Peter Elwood. It just seems almost a shame to use an interesting name like Elwood (at least I think it's intereresting) as a middle name. You don't use the middle name that often.

Meh. You could always call him Elwood on occasion. My SOs sister gets called "Lil" quite a bit by here family, and her name is Nora Lillian.

I'd really like Myrtle and Peter as a set.

Patrick and Peter are too boring compared to Myrtle. I don't mind Patrick as a mn, but not Peter

Really? I don't think Patrick would be too plain next to Myrtle. I actually think Myrtle makes Patrick look more hip in a backward sort of way.

I find Peter to be more plain. But I actually think he's not bad with Myrtle either.

I definitely choose either of them over Elwood.

I think Myrtle and Peter would make a great sibset. Patrick is a bit plain as a first name next to Myrtle but Peter is really nice.
