Joshua or Peter?

[Anonymous]

Well, I really dislike the name Peter, so I vote Joshua.

I agree with the "different vibe" person above, though. So I guess it would depend on your preferred vibe

OP here.

I have no vibe. We are a pretty generic, white family. I’d like for the name to be “strong” and last from childhood to adulthood, and not make a statement.

Neither Peter or Joshua are strong names

Disagree. As a Christian, Peter means rock, literally the “rock” on which the church is built.

It’s stronger than “Simon”. Even Jesus knew that.

Oh god seriously?!? I’m 37 and never heard this, but I’m also pretty naive.

Can you guys corroborate this?

the song: there's a sketer on my peter get it off, get it off.....

It's "whack" not "get"

I have only seen this rhyme on this site.

— another 36 year who’s never heard this in my life — I grew up in NY, CA and IL.

49 y.o.here who only saw this rhyme on this site. Is this a southern thing?

OP just said that she dislikes it.

Curious: were they Leonard, Leonardo, or something else?

I don’t know the rhyme but definitely think of Peter as synonym for penis. Like Johnson. I am a little over 40 and grew up in NOVA, so maybe just older southerners used that, I don’t know.

No, I haven’t, but I also wonder if they are Leon or Leonard. It is definitely NOT an Irish name, and it’s a nickname anyway.

Joshua.

I prefer Peter to Joshua, but regardless, I applaud you for not inflicting another Grayson, Kason, Mason, Jaxon, Braxton, or Paxton on the world.

Grew up in California, Peter definitely has a penis association.
