My father's name is Frederick Peter, and my grandfather's name is Frederick George (he was 100% German). My dad's older brother, Daniel (Dan or Danny), was supposed to be Frederick, but my grandma absolutely despised it. So, my grandma decided on Daniel George for my uncle. But, when my dad was born, he got the short end of the stick (not to mention, my daddy is rather short compared to the rest of the men in his family), and my grandpa insisted on Frederick his time around. His middle name, Peter, came from a crush that my grandma had when she was younger (which is kind of creepy, but maybe revenge against my grandfather?). My dad is called Rick or Ricky anyway, which he doesn't hate, but he always says that he would have definitely prefered having Peter as a first name.

So, I think I could definitely honor my dad if I used Peter as a first name if I ever have a son. I personally don't see what's so bad about Frederick, but my dad actually told me that if I ever named my son Frederick he'd be pissed. I've always liked Peter anyway, as Peter Pan and Peter Rabbit were always my favorites as a kid, and a few years ago Finding Neverland melted my heart. Wdyt of Peter Frederick, Peter George, Peter John, or Peter Anthony? Any other suggestions? Thanks a lot! :)

Tomorrow we'll be castaway...
