HelpRe: Pierce vs. Piers
in reply to a message by Zimger
I adore just about anything medieval. Piers for me.
Peter is my all time #1 favorite for a boy. So any variant starts with a leg up. But I do really love the sound of Piers anyway. It's so clear and intelligent sounding, like Peter. My only fear is that here in the U.S. people will pronounce it with a "z" sound on the end, not an "s." I was happy to see Piers Morgan begin to become well known because I thought everyone would pronounce it the British way. Alas, the few times I've heard his name pronounced here it's been with a "z."
