Joshua or Peter?

I’m also interested in what your impression of the name is. Like, for example, “Colton” to me sounds like a cowboy.

Do you have a negative/positive connotation for either?

To me, they're both nice-guy names. Joshua feels more Jewish and Peter feels more Catholic/preppy.

Peter means penis the same way John means toilet. No one under 60 uses this slang.

Joshua farts a lot and is a typical little boy.

Peter is preppier and more well groomed.

(Love Peter) Phillip and Paul have similar vibes to me.

Peter. No question. Peter has class and weight.

I’ve never heard a penis called a Peter! Dick, yes but never Peter.

Peter is a WASP; Joshua is an Ashkenazi Jew named for a relative with a name starting with J.

I like both but one negative about Joshua may be the phrase "just joshin ya"

Pete’s Dragon!

Both good names with good nicknames.

Neither. Every Peter I’ve ever known was a Prick. Every Joshua was either super slow (intellectually) or mildly retarded. Just being honest.

Trendy names aren’t our style (looking at you, Maxton).

These aren’t family names, but we are a Christian family so I like the biblical aspect.

First reactions?

What about Nebuchadnezzar? Never hear that one nowadays..

Funny how Christians seem to conveniently disregard all of the ethnic names in the Bible... lmao.

Joshua! Always one of my fave names.

Yet another put-down of Christians. SO typical here on DCUM.

If we were to say similar of Jews or Muslims in any way we are racist/whatever and the post is removed.

Get your act together, "Progressives."

I like Pete but not Peter. Great associations of good guys I know named Pete.

Love Joshua, like Pete. Ya can't go wrong.

I've known 4 Joshua's throughout my life; only one was Jewish.

The 2 Petes I have konwn are Jewish.

Nobody under 40 uses that phrase. Sorry.
