If our son had been a girl we had settled on Petra. Well it seems to have returned to the top of the list for if we have a girl this time around, but I'm struggling for combos.

Our other front runners are Eleanor, Rose, and Miranda, but none sound all that well with it to me.

So, what do you think of Petra and how would you pair it up?

Petra Madeline is absolutely lovely.

I also like Petra Daphne, Petra Naomi, and Petra Vivian though I might spell it "Vivienne".

Thank you!

I adore Petra, I went to middle school with a girl with the name and have loved it ever since.

It gets my boyfriends approval due to the Ender's Game character.

Some combo ideas:
Petra Alice
Petra Caroline
Petra Charlotte
Petra Eleanor
Petra Elizabeth
Petra Eloise
Petra Felicity
Petra Josephine
Petra Joy
Petra Juliet
Petra Lily
Petra Louisa
Petra Lucia
Petra Ruby
Petra Veronica
Petra Victoria

Hm... I wonder if Ender's game is what made it okay with my husband.

Petra Felicity and Petra Victoria are stunning. Petra Veronica I can't decide if I like or not, but is for sure intriguing.

Thank you!

I think Petra is really cool. Stone cold. It should be considered a classic with Laura and Julia but never quite took off, eh?

I actually like the sound of Petra Rose. It's snappy and makes sense to me.

Some others:
Petra Catherine
Petra Cathleen
Petra Theresa / Therese
Petra Elise
Petra Rosemary
Petra Diane
Petra Jessamine

Oh Petra Rosemary is lovely. Petra Diane is nice as well.

Thank you :)

Oh and I don't think the Pete Rose think would bother me.

Actually I just realized why Petra Rose sounds natural. Sounds like Pete Rose. Scratch that one. =P
