I was just talking to a friend the other day who said
Petra was one of her favorite female names. She had an amazing experience visiting
Petra,
Jordan, plus she said she liked the sound and the meaning.
I like the meaning and the fact that it's short and easy to spell/pronounce. TR isn't my favorite sound, though.
The one girl I know named
Petra goes by "Pet" with her family. I actually really like the nickname in a GP kind of way.
