Why name her Petra if you don’t want to actually call her Petra?

woah these comments are so harsh...

Petra reminds me of a character in Jane the Virgin, not a petri dish.

My own Sara is “Sara Bear” 😁

My daughter is Petra and just after she was born my husband called her Pepper and it totally stuck, we all call her that now.

We love the name Petra and get infinite comments on it, though I'm sure there are others who don't like it and don't say anything but who cares.

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


Do you mean to call her P? That would be odd.


NP. It's not odd if you know how the name should be said in German. Most people who have traveled will automatically say the name "Pee-tra" because that's how it's said in German.


I've traveled to Germany but I'm also fluent in Russian and so I would not pronounce it like pee at all.

Rocky is a horrible nickname for anyone, let alone a little girl. If you're going to plan in advance to call her something like Rose that is only super tangentially related to the name, I would just pick something else.

Pee

Petri dish.

Can you do Petra as a middle name?? We used ugly family name as the middle name, not the first name. Heavens no
