Peterson for a boy?

My DH's first name is Peter, a family name, and he goes by his MN. Any thoughts on continuing the trend but using Peterson instead, either as a first or middle name. (Unless, of course we choose Scott for a FN!) What about as a first name? Can you picture a little boy named Peter? I just know so many older guys with the name it doesn't seem fresh. Any NN other than Pete? Thanks for your thoughts.

Typically, I would say, yes, yes, I love(!) the idea!! Unfortunately, you brought it up a little too close to Scott Peterson's guilty verdict, so when I hear "Peterson" all I see in my mind is that awful monster. Naturally, I don't think I'd feel like that forever. I like the idea; I think it's nice! Kind of like Davidson, but with Peter instead!


Best wishes to you!
