Re: Peter
in reply to a message by Olwen
The slang term is archaic imo, so I doubt it'd be an issue for a Peter in real life (though since it does exist, it's easy for people who already dislike the name to point it out as a deterrent: people who already dislike the design of your favorite sweater are automatically going to be looking for flaws in it, but should that stop you from wearing it?). That said, I don't like Peter much. It sounds snively to me, and when I try to parse out why...Peter Pan syndrome, Peter Pettigrew, and "petering out" come to mind. I also never found the disciple Peter to be particularly likable, personality-wise.
