As a teacher who has taught thousands, trust me when I tell you not to worry about Peters.

I get it. hmm...if it bugs you I would look for something else. You could always use do Isaac nn Zach to avoid possible teasing. Nothing wrong with Zach Peters.

I think this ones a hard one. I got what you meant the first time I read it.
I don't think Peters itself has much teasing potential, but I think Isaac might be the one name that might cause issues with Peters.
I love the name Isaac, and if it's the one you can agree on that's a tough choice. I don't even know if I would have read the name that way if you had not warned us to look out for something dirty. And I don't know if kids would be more or less likely to pick it out.
Anyways good luck, I hope you find the right name.
too much into it....
if they will pick on Peters...they will pick on it with or without Isaac.

Yes, they are all somewhat biblical. Elijah we picked because we both loved it and Elijah in the Bible never really died and that sounded nice (I had lost a lot of babies already and wanted one that lived!). Paul means "small" and Paul was very small at birth. Isaiah was to be Nicolas, Sebastien or Isaiah but when we saw him he looked like an Isaiah and Isaiah was the name that sounded the best with Elijah. Then came Josh. By this time all the kids had Biblical names....so....at this point we named him a Biblical name on purpose. However, I picked JOSIAH. But DH refused and we compromised at Joshua. (I only agreed to pick such a common name because our community is French and there are NO Joshua's here). Then came Angelina. I wanted to go with the trend but would not take a 2 syllable name (last name was 2 syll and I wanted an unbalance). Most girl Biblical names were 2 syll. I liked Keziah and Delilah but DH said no way to Keziah and Dalilah is my best friend's daughter. Sooooooo....
we took the next best thing. Angelina means "Little Angel" and angels are in the Bible. Plus Angelina Jolie is pretty, kind and and just won Humanitarian awards so DH convinced me to name her Angelina. However when I saw her, I saw a Katerina (Katie)...but he was sold on Angel.
You are right...I would not give the initials PP either.....LOL!

Ugh, this is always a potential problem for us.

It might not sound so bad depending on where you live, and the accent people have.
