[name_m]Peter[/name_m] and [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m] are both lovely options [name_f][/name_f]- do you live in an area where people will know how to pronounce [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m]? where I’m from, I’m positive it would trip some people up [name_f][/name_f]- then again, it’s a very easy correction.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Peter[/name_m] is sturdy, literary, and familiar. [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m] does seem to have quite a few associations, but I think if anything, that increases his useability (since the associations are generally positive).
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Not[/name_m] sure if you have any other middle contenders, but if it’s between [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m] and [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- I find [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m] to be more interesting. [name_m]You[/name_m] noted a hint of boredom at [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and I do agree, even knowing he won’t be one of multiple in a class (like you would with [name_m]Noah[/name_m], [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], etc). [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m] has a more interesting sound I think, and feels more worldly. He rounds out your sibset in a way that feels cohesive, yet interesting, whereas [name_m]Peter[/name_m] is a tiny bit less climactic.
[name_f][/name_f]I truly don’t think you could go wrong here, but yeah, if it were me in your shoes I think I’d be leaning toward [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- or seeing which feels right after he’s born! Wishing you & baby well in your delivery and naming process.
