Peter - Looking for Middle Name

Boy Names
1

I want to name my son [name]Peter[/name] and am looking for a middle name. (Last name sounds like [name]Cole[/name].)

I love [name]Peter[/name] but want something in the middle to make it a little more distinctive; if I go for another common, classic name, there will be so many people who have the exact same combination. Here are my criteria: preferably not another obviously Biblical name or another that ends in r. I think I’m looking for something not only distinctive but also soft/smooth-sounding. Here are some I thought of (and some break my “rules”):

[name]Peter[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Julian[/name] / [name]Peter[/name] [name]Julius[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Angelo[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Caspian[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Jonas[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Charles[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Albert[/name]

I love [name]Peter[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Peter[/name] [name]Julian[/name] from your list. So distinguished and classic, but not too overused. I also really like [name]Peter[/name] [name]Caspian[/name] if you’re looking to go a bit more exotic but still classy.

[name]How[/name] about:
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]George[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Lawrence[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Adrian[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Dominic[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Elias[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Isaiah[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Brooks[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Maxwell[/name]

hope that helps!

[name]Peter[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]: I think this is so handsome! [name]Nathaniel[/name] is a classic name in the Top 100 (it’s also Biblical, as is [name]Nathan[/name]), so this one doesn’t play by your rules. I love it, though!

[name]Peter[/name] [name]Julian[/name] / [name]Peter[/name] [name]Julius[/name]: I love [name]Peter[/name] [name]Julian[/name], but like [name]Nathaniel[/name], it may not be what you’re looking for because of its popularity. I think it’s wonderful, though! To me, [name]Julius[/name] is more distinctive than [name]Julian[/name], if that’s what you’re going for.

[name]Peter[/name] [name]Angelo[/name]: I think this is interesting, in a good way…

[name]Peter[/name] [name]Caspian[/name]: I think this is very handsome, not to mention distinctive.

[name]Peter[/name] [name]Jonas[/name]: I think it’s handsome…

[name]Peter[/name] [name]Charles[/name]: I love this so much, but [name]Charles[/name] is a popular, classic name, so it doesn’t meet your criteria for being unpopular. I think a longer middle sounds great with your last name!

[name]Peter[/name] [name]Albert[/name]: I like some of the others more, but to me, [name]Albert[/name] is distinctive in the middle.

My favorites with your last name, despite their popularity as first names, are [name]Peter[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Peter[/name] [name]Julian[/name]. :slight_smile: I also love the sound of [name]Peter[/name] [name]Caspian[/name]!

My all-time favorite [name]Peter[/name] combo in the world is [name]Peter[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name], the amazing name of [name]Susan[/name]'s son. :slight_smile:

More you may like (I’m thinking that your last name rhymes with [name]Cole[/name], but doesn’t start with a K sound…I apologize if I’m wrong):

[name]Peter[/name] [name]Augustin[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Augustus[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Elias[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Maxfield[/name]

Good luck! :slight_smile:

[name]Peter[/name] is my favorite boy’s name. I named my son [name]Peter[/name]. I looked through the entire boy’s section of a baby name book when I was choosing a middle name to go with [name]Peter[/name]. That is how I found the middle name [name]Sebastian[/name]. It took me quite a while to find [name]Sebastian[/name] because it starts with an “S”.
I also love
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Adrian[/name] - love
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Alastair[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Barnaby[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Benjamin[/name] - I don’t think [name]Benjamin[/name] is an obvious biblical name.
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Cameron[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Charles[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Gabriel[/name] - but that is the name of a musician.
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Julian[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Lazarus[/name] - oops, breaks the no biblical names rule. And [name]Lazarus[/name] is an extremely biblical name.
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Leandro[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Lorenzo[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name] - this is so wonderful
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] - oops, this breaks one of your rules, but I love it anyway!
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Solomon[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]
[name]Peter[/name] [name]William[/name] - this is kind of boring, but I love both names.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Peter[/name] [name]Andreas[/name] so much! I have thought of [name]Philip[/name] [name]Andreas[/name], but I never put [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Andreas[/name] together before. It is an amazing combination of names.

These are so many great suggestions! Thank you! [name]Peter[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] in particular is great.

Isn’t it? I think that [name]Peter[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] is amazing!! :slight_smile: I think it’s beyond handsome!

Take care!

I’d vote against [name]Peter[/name] [name]Caspian[/name]. [name]Both[/name] [name]King[/name] [name]Peter[/name] and [name]Prince[/name] [name]Caspian[/name] are key figures in C.S. [name]Lewis[/name]'s [name]Narnia[/name] series - specifically they are both in the book entitled [name]Prince[/name] [name]Caspian[/name] as well as being separately in other books.

I like [name]Peter[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name] but if you don’t want another NT name than I’d go with [name]Peter[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] as it’s really nice as well.

12

That’s a really good point. Thank you. I think it was already a little too adventurous for me to be seriously considering.

13

araminta didn’t you mean [name]Peter[/name] [name]St[/name] [name]John[/name]? It is said as [name]Sinjin[/name].

BTW [name]Love[/name] [name]Peter[/name] and lots of the suggestions.

Well if you do want to remain adventurous, [name]Cyprian[/name] would be an alternative to [name]Caspian[/name]. DH use to try to get me to use that one b/c of [name]St[/name]. [name]Cyprian[/name] but he said he’d call him Cyp (pronounced Sip). No thanks.
