HelpPeter and August
This name as slowly, but steadily crept up my favorites list to tie with Jonas. It's very sweet, and he'd have a cool namesake.
However, I have two problems with the name. Three, actually. They are:
1)My sister dated someone named Peter for several years, and they had a rocky relationship. He became a big part of our family...but also ended up stalking up. I'm wondering if the name could still be used - as the relationship will have been over for nearly ten years by the time I'd have a child.
2) The fact that in some areas it's slang for penis. It's not here, but I've heard the comment quite often. I don't want to end up with the equivalent of Dick.
3) The fact that peter is a word, and one that I actually use.
August is another favorite that is creeping up, but not nearly as fast as Peter is. I'm curious: Does anything else think of the word august when the see it? I know the word and the name/month are pronounced slightly differently...but the connection still bothers me a bit.
TIA.
