Jordan Petter: Hello, my name is Jordan Petter. My ancestors immigrated from Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic with the surname Petr, originally spelled P-E-T-R. Upon arriving in Corpus Christi, Texas, a transcription error occurred during the immigration process when their last name was verbalized. As a result, their last name was mistakenly documented as Petter, P-E-T-T-E-R. Now, people incorrectly pronounce it Peter, but it's Petter like better or letter but with a P. What's surprising is that some people will even see the letters of my name, but when they pronounce it, they add an S at the end to make it Peters or Petters. From now until forever, my name is pronounced Jordan Petter.
