Arnold?

[Cami12]

What do you think of the name Arnold for baby boy? nn. Arnie.
Thnx!

[SteviebunsBottrittrundle]

Not really my cup of tea tbh. It's the Arn sound I think I'm not terribly keen on but then I am Irish so pronounce my rs, so it becomes Arrrrrn which I don't like. I know an adult Aaron (ah-ron) nn Arnie.

[GoldPlatedBacon]

Go for it! I think it's great!

[WaitrosePigeon]

Hey! Arnold

[FlattenedWhite]

I quite like it, but the inevitable reference is Schwarzenegger...

[CatyB]

Arnold/Arnie sounds good enough to me.

[FenellaFerranti]

I like it a lot but DH vetoed it for us. Good combo of fairly sensible and recognised but not too common!

[Batteriesallgone]

I like it

[Raines100]

It's a grandad name, and I don't see the appeal.

[MilkTwoSugarsThanks]

🎶Arnold Layne...
🎶Had a straaange...
🎶Hobby.

[Simmi1]

I don't like it but I do like Arno. I also like Aaron.

[imwithspud]

I quite like it, but I just can't picture the name on a baby if that makes sense? Probably because I've never come across a baby with that name.

If you like it then go for it.

[sonlypuppyfat]

It's awful, of all the lovely names you're going to saddle him with that

[EsmesBees]

'He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
He's also a fantastic swimmer'

Unfortunately, this is the first reference that jumped to my mind

[Batteriesallgone]

It will be super popular in a few years time, so bear that in mind. Albert, Alfred et al are already really popular. Arnold is similar generation and so not far behind in the popularity stakes (I reckon!)

[Athrawes]

Kipper the dog has a friend, Pig, whose little cousin is called Arnold.

[srslylikeomg]

How about Arlo?

[DiscordiaVanDiemen]

The only young baby I know is called Arnold. I really like it.

[Pemba]

Goodness, no. My DF (70s) has friends called this so I think of it as an older name, it doesn't really have a nice sound either.

[AsteroidB314]

I really like it. My dc2 was going to have been Sylvie or Arnaud ''Arno'' as opposed to Arnie. But in the same vein.
