Arthur or Rufus?

Have name changed so people don't know my shortlist...

Please could you tell me which you prefer, bearing in mind the new popularity of Arthur (puts me off a bit) but is Rufus a bit too 'silly'?

HELP!

Arthur is now no.68 on the baby names, which considering my other dcs' names are nowhere near even the top 200, is a bit popular for me, and it's bothering me. How many Arthurs are there though? Really don't want it to become the next big thing and him to end up being one of 3 in his class.

At least Rufus is less popular.
