Help[Opinions] Petra.
I've been liking Petra a lot today. I love Peter, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before I fell for Petra as well.
Curious as to your opinions and combinations. I've come up with several pairings that I like, but I'm not over the moon about any of them. So far-- Petra Victoria, Petra Winter, Petra Eleanor, and Petra Rosalie.

Wouldn't it help to move away from names that end in -a or something close to it, or that start with a R? And also to vary the rhythm?

I like Petra. I think it sounds very hard and regal (probably because of the 'stone' association- I know 'petro' wasn't the real root word of Petra, but I used to think it was and that association still holds in my brain) , so I tend to like it with more serious-sounding mns (or at least mns that are easy to take seriously if needed). Of yours I like Petra Victoria, and I love Petra Eleanor. I also like:

I surprised I'm liking Petra Rhiannon so much! I would've never put those two together, because they seem so separate, however they sound lovely. :)
Other favorites:
Petra Louisa
Petra Annora
Petra Willow
I also like Petra and Saskia together, but I prefer them as a sibset. Petra, Saskia, and Aušra are all sisters in my mind.

Peter is my all-time favorite boy's name. So Petra starts out with an advantage with me. But even for its own sake I love the simple elegance of it. It's known, but not overly used. It's one of those buried treasures waiting to be rediscovered. Love, love, love it.
All of your combinations are great. My favorite is Petra Eleanor. My two stock combos for it are Petra Vivien and Petra Linden.

Peter is just so lovely, isn't he? I do wish he were a bit less common though. :)

I love Petra. It seems very easy to "travel" with- it is easy enough to use in much of the Western world. It has such a smoky, mysteriously understated sound. I'd definitely consider using it if I ever have a change of heart and decide to have children someday.

I could never warm to Petra. I don't know, it sounds cold and slightly bitchy to me. Not sure why.
