If I like Arthur, Theodore and Stanley

... What else would I like?
I was convinced I was having a girl, but today's 20 week scan showed I was very much mistaken!
As you can see I like traditional names, help!

I like those, I especially like Arthur Grin and I also like

George
Frederick
Wilfred
Albert
Alfred
Edwin
Henry

BTW the Arthur I know best never gets any kind of nickname. Certainly not arty farty Hmm

I see most all of my ideas have been suggested already!

DejaB00 Our friends & family were quite vocal when we were choosing a name, but they all liked Theodore and if any of them had thought it was too posh/ridiculous we would have definitely known about it.

No-one we've met has ever commented upon it in a negative way - but then I suppose they'd be damn rude if they did!

And I do pronounce my T's, but we're not posh. In case you were wondering Wink

I suggested that! See my post earlier OP. Wink

Thank you for all your suggestions so far ladies. They have helped in a way, to reinforce to fact that I just love Arthur, Theodore and Stanley and struggle to like anything else! Damn it. DH doesn't like any of them but has no other suggestions...
I just thought if Victor, what do you think? It's quite a strong name, would it go with big brother Louis?
Thanks Smile

There are an Arthur and an Edward (Ted) in my family... Both 70ish.
I find it funny they're fashionable again.

thetigerwhocametoteax · 03/05/2013 20:50

We have a Arthur and a Ted (Edward). Ted was nearly a Theodore but DH thought it was too "posh" so changed at last minute. Others we liked were Reuben, Edgar, Rowan, George, Albert and Wilfred.

abird what reactions do you get from people with Theodore? I know I shouldn't care but I do! I think it's fab with nn Theo but I need to convince my DH for this one too...

I have a Theodore - great name.

Really struggling with another boys name for the next one due this year - Arthur was on the list, but I don't like the yuppy nn 'Arty' and it's having a real boom in popularity around here - there will be 5 others in the class.

Dominic, Jonathan, Vincent & Max are also on our list but none of them seem right, so I will be watching this thread closely!

Much easier if it's a girl - I've always wanted a Florence and I don't care if half the country got there before me.

Yes my DP always says if we called our son Arthur he would get called 'arty farty' and 'half a job' at school....
Hmm

I love Arthur so much and have done for years, but DH doesn't Sad
Archie and Alfie are our cats' names, we have nephew called Ted (love it) and not sure about the others!
