Arthur or Joseph??

[buckyou]

Which do you prefer? Middle name i think William.

Plus are there any good nn's for Arthur apart from Art/Artie? Or just stick with Arthur?

[braceybracegirl]

Both lovely names! I like Arthur.

[Mybeardeddragonjustdied2016]

Joseph William is fab!!

[Wheresthattomoibabber]

We call our Arthur Arth. Or Arth Vader. My dad calls him Bath Buns

[crayfish]

Oh Arthur, definitely.

[Wheresthattomoibabber]

And we call him Boots. Short for Arthur Barthur Boots. I need to get a life.

[Ohdofuckoffplease]

Arthur

[CPtart]

Joseph
But I prefer William Joseph

[ThursdayLastWeek]

I think Arthur has peaked.
I prefer Joseph but would call him Joe.

[DramaAlpaca]

Hard to choose but I think I'd probably go with Joseph.

[MissCalamity]

Joseph definitely biased

[Castleonacloud]

What about both as in Arthur Joseph?

[PalaceResident]

Love Arthur.

[katemess12]

Ooh, I love both.

It depends whether you like Art or Joe more as a nickname, because they'll get shortened (certainly Joseph will, anyway). I actually don't have a preference.

And they both sound great with William

(No help, sorry!)

[shaggedthruahedgebackwards]

I prefer Joseph

Arthur is nice too but very 'now'. I know at least half a dozen Arthur born in the past 7 years.

Joseph is more of a timeless classic IMO

[Nospringflower]

Joseph is a nice classic name. Arthur is a more trend name. Not keen on Arthur at all.

[sonlypuppyfat]

I went to school with an Arthur his every day was made miserable because of his name, funny how times change

[idontlikealdi]

I like William Joseph.

[mishmash1979]

We affectionately call our Joseph William " Jo Jo". Love him xxx

[dementedma]

Joseph.doesnt have to be abbreviated. Our 14 year old Ds is a Joseph,not aJoe

[LowAMH]

Joseph William is fab

[mishmash1979]

Absolutely dement; our Joseph is only allowed to b called Jo Jo by us. I actually don't like him being called Joe

[NuffSaidSam]

I actually prefer Arthur, but would go with Joseph just because Arthur is so 'on trend' at the moment.

I prefer William to both of those though. I'd go with William Arthur.

[FiveHoursSleep]

We have a Joseph William. We call him Jofish as his youngest older sister couldn't pronounce Joseph.

[Superstar90]

Love both! Slightly preferring Joseph though as more long lasting and less 'faddy'

[Buntysoven]

Love Joseph. Really dislike Arthur but that's just my opinion.
