I would just use the initial personally. Petra is difficult name Do you even like it?


I agree with pp. So msny pretty names and Petra isnt one of them. Why not ise Peter for a boy or Petra for middle name?

Don't give her a nickname now, and see what comes naturally. Can't force or plan for a nickname.

Petra is not a pretty name. Might as well call the poor kid Covid Petri (as in dish).


Petra is beautiful.

Are you asking for a real nickname, or a pet name?

My boys have ridiculous pet names that aren’t even close to their real names. People probably overhear me calling to “Floonie” and wonder what the hell ive named my kid!

I don't get Peach either. I think this may be a case where the nickname may be completely removed from the first name .


Petra is a beautiful name.

I find this such a weird nickname, especially for Petra.

Pet seems the obvious choice is you’re desperate for a nickname.

It’s gonna be an I, so maybe I should call her personal investigator 🙃


If her initials are going to PI, then I think you should make her a pie every March 14th.

Also, you could call her pie for a nickname.
