Do you like Arthur?

Yes, I think that it's a lovely name.

[ChineapplePunk]

Yes, great name.

[soandsosmum]

Love love Love it
My grandad was Arthur and my DD has a little friend age 10m called it too

[DoubleGlazing]

Too "old man" for me, sorry.

[MayCanary]

Yes, I have one (8m) and he is the dearest little chap.

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Love it too. Are you thinking of using it notin?

[Beans1977]

I love it too - am 15w pg and if we have a DS we are thinking Arthur John xxxx - both Arthur and John are family names.

[usualsuspect]

Nope , its an old mans name.

[welovesausagedogs]

Love it, and you can use Artie as a cut nickname

[LucyManga]

Like it

[Stellan]

Love it.

[ShowOfHands]

Two of my fave MNers have had Arthurs in the last couple of months. Lovely name. Didn't realise it was so popular atm.

[blondiep14]

I like. Considered it for DS2 but knew my Dad would say 'alf a, alf a brain cell' and it put me off!

[FamiliesShareGerms]

Love it, but my mum hated it (it was her dad's name) so we went with something else.

Check it works with your surname though, it's one of those names that can lead to unfortunate initials / nicknames

[lovechoc]

Know someone who called their DS Arthor. Not sure if that's the same or not?

[nizlopi]

One of my best friends is called Arthur, I love it, its a wonderful name. I think its becoming a bit popular now though, sort of like Alfie and Archie, although not quite as bad.

[Clary]

Yes I like it v much.

They say it is coming back but I know a lot of middle class DC and I only know two, one aged 12 and one aged 6.

[emmyloo2]

Yes adore it. It is the name for my DS2 if I ever have one. Love Artie for a nickname. I already have a George. It is not very popular at all where I am from. In fact I suspect there would only be a few born every year.

Love love love it!

[squoosh]

I like it but have a compulsion upon hearing it to shour "ARRRRFA?" á la the woman with specs from On The Buses aka the creepist sitcom of all time.

I didn't grow up watching this and only saw it for the first time a couple of years ago. It's obviously made a big impression on me.

[5madthings]

i have a friend with a little boy called Arthur, i was a bit unsure at first but i love it and it suits him perfectly, its a lovely name :)

[ReshapeWhileDamp]

I love it but unfortunately DH doesn't, so it was knocked off our shortlist. Getting very popular, which may or may not make a difference to you, OP. (Disclaimer: I have two boys with what I thought were reasonably not-common names. They turned out to be pretty well-used. I don't care though.)
