小彼得

彼得 is the standard Chinese transliteration of 'Peter,' and 小 ('little') is added as the affectionate diminutive - exactly like English 'Petey' or 'Little Peter.' Common in translations of children's stories (《彼得兔》 Peter Rabbit, 《彼得潘》 Peter Pan) and as a character name in dubbed films.

usage

The 小 prefix before a name signals affection and youth in Chinese, regardless of whether the original name is Chinese (小李 'Little Li') or foreign (小彼得 'Little Peter'). Stress falls naturally on 彼得.
