Sorry, but she has a stupid first name.


Who names their kid "Peta"? The animal rights group does some good and some bad. But to name your child after them?

Or is it supposed to be "Pita"? Now I want a gyro.

She was born 10 years before PETA was formed. Also, the number of notable people with that name is nothing to sneeze at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peta_(given_name)

Okay, never mind. 🤣

I looked up the name's origin just now. It's the Spanish version of the Greek name "Petra" meaning rock. I'll just say I like the name "Petra" but "Peta" is a silly name.

Does she pronounce it like 'Peter', or 'PET-ah'?
