Middle for #5, Peter

Boy Names

[name_m]Little[/name_m] man #5 due about a month from now…totally stumped on his middle. Here’s the sibling pile of names:

[name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_u]Kaye[/name_u]
[name_m]Endymion[/name_m] “Endy” [name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Aloysius[/name_m]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]

[name_m]Peter[/name_m] _______ Wigand

We like biblical, classic, slightly offbeat…try to balance classic with different. Dad’s name is [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] but I fear [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] is too boring.

I like the way [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] feels but is very hard to say. Initials P.O.W. or P.E.W. are fine with us.

Also, does anyone still make dick jokes about this name besides my dad??

Thanks loves!

If [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] bores you, do you like [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] or [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Klaus[/name_m]?
I really like [name_u]Orion[/name_u], and I think [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Orion[/name_u] is great.
Wasn’t aware of any jokes, but I figure it out once you mentioned it - but I don’t think so.

Other suggestions:
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u]/[name_m]Augustus[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Lucius[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]

I was going to suggest [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m]/[name_m]Nicolai[/name_m] as a [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] replacement - I love it and I think it sounds great with [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and with your other kids’ names.

Or even [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Nicodemus[/name_m]?

[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] is a great suggestion!

I don’t have a lot of ideas, but mostly I wanted to comment because I was so excited to see someone has used [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] in real life! I absolutely adore the name!! But to answer your question, here are a few ideas- I mostly went for sort of whimsical and offbeat, as [name_m]Peter[/name_m] has quite a familiar and classic feel to me. I also really like the flow of the three syllable middle names with a two syllable first and last name.

[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Apollo[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Artemus[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Auberon[/name_u]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Cassius[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Castiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Osiris[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Osias[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Phineas[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_u]Sequoia[/name_u]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m]

Thank you! It def took some courage to go with [name_m]Endymion[/name_m] but I was hooked on the nickname Endy and so glad I went with it!

Totally agree on the 3 syllable middle with the 2 for first and last…thanks for the suggestions!

My son due this summer is likely a [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and we are planning to use [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Bartholomew[/name_m] as the full name. Other names that kind of spice up [name_m]Peter[/name_m] to various degrees without costing it its classic/traditional appeal:

[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Hugh[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Clement[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Augustine[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Balthazar[/name_m]

Also, for what it’s worth, I like [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] and don’t find it boring at all.
