Exactly what you think. Fildes is pronounced files, usually (although more
properly 'fildz' - old Lancashire name) so 'peddo' or 'pedda' is a bit
obvious. The name Peter can no longer be used in the family at all, since
what was once a technical term became very current and widespread.
Of course, I did used to work with a teacher by the name of Peter Cock.......
