Arthur def growing in popularity

I love both names but just to warn you I sometimes work at baby clinics and Arthur is becoming extremely popular. Henry is also very popular but Arthur seems to be the name of the moment. If that doesn't worry you, great names.

Shock 7! Wow - do you ever sleep?! Kudos!

Love them both but especially love Arthur.

Henry, but I'm biased as that's my ds1's name. Smile Arthur is nice too though, I love the nn Artie.

Aherdofmims · 17/10/2014 22:46

Arthur. Please go for Arthur it is so much nicer!

Alisvolatpropiis · 17/10/2014 22:35

Arthur

DramaAlpaca · 17/10/2014 22:33

DC7? Wow! I'm impressed.

In that case I'd choose whichever goes best with your other DC's names Smile

Arthur?! I'm amazed that Arthur is popular but Deirdre is considered awful?

Arthur is pipe and slippers, brylcreem land.

DramaAlpaca · 17/10/2014 22:14

I love both.

I'd pick whichever goes best with your surname.

I think I slightly prefer Arthur Henry to Henry Arthur, but you might want to save one in case you ever have another DS Smile

Arthur

NewEraNewMindset · 17/10/2014 22:13

Arthur is around the top of our fave boys names. I love Art and Artie and obviously love the full name too! I've heard it out and about once but it's certainly not common around my way.

FelixTitling · 17/10/2014 22:11

For the first baby name thread in ages I can say.....I love these names!

Have both: Arthur Henry

pintofmilk · 17/10/2014 22:10

Name thief!!

I love both, infact if DC4 turns out to be a boy then Henry Arthur is number one on my list!!

Sorry no help, maybe you should you have Arthur Henry then I can have Henry Arthur Grin
