Arthur or George to go with existing boys?

We have 2 sons, Edward and James

Son 3 is due shortly and we are agonising over George and Arthur.

George is the "safe" option and we like safe. Arthur is a bit more "out there" (by our standards!)

I worry that Edward, James and George sounds a bit "Thomas the Tank Engine" and that as a sibling set maybe "James, Edward and Arthur" is a bit more interesting.

We are really going back and forward on this one. I love both names but wonder if we used George I'd regret letting Arthur slip through our fingers so to speak.

Thought you might like to read this, it was linked on the article a poster put on the unique name thread. A funny read if nothing else.

I like George I wish we had named our first son this name but instead it's his middle name
Also goes well with your two other sons names
