Re: Thomas, Peter and Rórdán

Good perspective!
My children will unfortunately never know my Dad but he and I were extremely close and I do share stories, pictures, etc. So, the memories are alive but a potential son named Peter would never have his own memories.
I think you have told me the story of the Rory you know and his dislike of the name. My husband's family lives in Northern England and Scotland so the name Rory is way more familiar. Also, my brother in law has an accent in his name so that is normal for them. My family would fins Rory totally normal but the accents would likely be forgotten at times.

I think with regards to Peter it would be fine. You don't have to know the person but so long as there are stories to be had that is the important thing imo. It would be a sweet idea. Maybe since you are down to just three you can wait till he is born and just wait and see which one he "feels like" once you hold him.
