Peter is my all time favorite name for a boy. So Petra starts with the wind at its back.

I love the sound of Petra, as well as the fact that it is an under-the-radar classic. It's known, but not overly used. I see no down-side to Petra, except the similarity to petrol. As long as the middle name doesn't start with an L the petrol thing shouldn't be a problem.

Petra Vivien and Petra Sylvie are my stock combos for it. :0)

I think I like it! It's never been in my radar before, but yeah!

Petra Isabelle sounds nice.

I think Petra is very cool. The impression I get from it is a cool, sophisticated, perhaps ultimately somewhat spunky/tough, exotic young foreign woman.

I don't like Peter (Petra could be a female version of it) but Petra just calls to me.

Petra reminds me of the word 'petrify,' which is slightly ironic given its meaning.

I'm not a fan. I had a boss named Petra (not a bad one) and I've been to Petra in Jordan (beautiful place) but it's just so harsh sounding. I prefer soft names for both boys and girls so I would never ever consider Petra. I prefer Petronella.

Combos? I like Petra Sophia.

I used to know a Petra. People would call her "peetra" all the time and it annoyed her. I don't think I ever knew her middle name.

---

Petra Aurelia is pretty.

I like both Petra and Peter! I think Pebbles makes for a fun nickname as well! Petra Elizabeth might work!
