Re: Peter and August
in reply to a message by Haven
I love August! I pronounce the month and the name the same and I don't see why anyone wouldn't. What is the difference?
Peter is NMSAA. I think it's boring, over-used and unappealing, to say the least. As for you using it, I don't think you should. At first glance, number 1 sounded like a very good reason not to use it, but when I read the last bit, I thought it was fine. However, number 2 is a definate, solid reason not to use that name. I've actually never heard of it but, if it's popular slang, don't do it. I had a teacher named Dick and it was a popular topic among students behind his back.
