Was on my list, but changed minds last minute and am glad now. Depends on your surname really..

Love it.
There is an Arthur at DS's nursery. Very cute, suits him.
I liked it for DS2 but DH said NO!

Love it. Would definitely have used it for my dcs except that it doesn't work with our surname.

Well i thought Dudley Moore was a bit wooden in it, but all in all not bad

I think it's a lovely name though.

I love Arthur, was on my list for this one but it does funny things to our surname.

Love it. If DD had been a DS, she would have been Arthur. Got mixed reactions from people when we told them this.

Yes, I think it's a brilliant name, and it's hardly used at all. It was my first choice if I had had a son.

My youngest DS is Arthur. Its a lovely name - traditional but not that many of them around at the moment.

It's my son's middle name although if I had another I may be tempted to use it as a first name BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT NAME!
