About the name Peter in Korean
Peter sounds simple, but its Korean form 피터 (Pi-teo) needs two adjustments: the vowel 'teo' sounds like 'tuh', and the 'r' is dropped. Korean b and p are close to each other, so the opening 'bin' of 빈서 (彬瑞, Bin-seo) can stand for 'pi'. Its 'seo' also rhymes with 'teo', and 'refined good fortune' is graceful and bright. 보석 (寶碩, Bo-seok) keeps a b/p opening and the 'eo' ending in a looser way. Peter means 'rock', and 碩 (great, solid) carries that image, so 'a treasured, solid one' feels strong. 지석 (智碩, Ji-seok) was chosen for meaning: with 智 (wise) it reads as 'wise and solid', calm and steady, though the sound link is weak. If the rock image matters to your family, 보석 and 지석 both keep it.
