I don’t have anything significant against [name_m]Peter[/name_m], it’s just sort of boring to me. [name_m]John[/name_m] just has more potential.

[name_m]John[/name_m] sounds strong and trustworthy. [name_m]Peter[/name_m] sounds like a [name_u]Brady[/name_u] Bunch kid.

[name_m]John[/name_m] is so handsome and strong and classic. I love it. One of my favorite names of all time.

[name_m]Peter[/name_m] is one my least favorite names but because of personal associations.

I really like [name_m]Peter[/name_m] although in a world with Jacksons, Liams, Brodys, and -adens, [name_m]John[/name_m] sounds really refreshing!

I love [name_m]John[/name_m]! [name_m]Peter[/name_m] is a great name that I would never use due to genitalia references. Yet even though I realize [name_m]John[/name_m] has his own negative references, they don’t feel as strong.

Peter is my favourite, but John is lovely too. I know an adorable little Peter whose parents sometimes call him Rocco (in reference to Peter’s meaning- ‘rock’). I’ve also heard Poco as a nn for Peter- that it probably my favourite.

[name_m]Peter[/name_m]!!! I love it.

Definitely [name_m]Peter[/name_m] for me! Both are completely timeless, but there are so many Johns in my family, and I’m getting rather tired of him. If he went by [name_m]Jack[/name_m], or had a double barrel (like [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Patrick[/name_m], etc.!), I could get behind him, but as it is, I much prefer just [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. I’ve loved [name_m]Peter[/name_m] for decades now, I think. :slight_smile:

[name_m]JOHN[/name_m]!!!

So much stronger and full of character than [name_m]Peter[/name_m], even though I know nice guys called [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. [name_m]John[/name_m] sounds like a go-getter. [name_m]Peter[/name_m] sounds like someone who is kind of whiney.

I adore [name_m]Johnny[/name_m]! Both names are on my list but since we have a nephew named john in honor of my father in law we are more likely to use [name_m]Peter[/name_m].

Definitely [name_m]John[/name_m]!

I really love [name_m]Peter[/name_m]! I think he’s too often overlooked. I’ve met so many Johns I can’t keep track of them and the name makes me want to yawn tbh. I’ve never met a single [name_m]Peter[/name_m] though which makes it very refreshing to me.

I voted for [name_m]Peter[/name_m]! But I am completely biased as my oldest son is [name_m]Peter[/name_m] :slight_smile:

[name_m]John[/name_m] for me! I love it and nn [name_m]Johnny[/name_m]. [name_m]Peter[/name_m] is just nms…and I think of Family [name_m]Guy[/name_m]. :frowning:

[name_m]Peter[/name_m] by far. I find it much more refreshing that [name_m]John[/name_m]. Both are classics, handsome names but I like [name_m]Peter[/name_m] way more.
