This thing about "Peace" is a misunderstanding. I read the article in Danish and it says "Fred", which is short for Frederik. It also happens to mean "Peace", but that is not the intended meaning if you use it as a name. I'm not sure of the Danish pronunciation, but in Swedish (closely related to Danish) Fred as a name and fred as a noun wouldn't even have the same pronunciation.
