When I say Arthur do you think.......

Do you think I've named my baby after Stacey in Eastenders???

DC2 due soon. First son is named Austin and so far my boys names are between Henry, Arthur and my DH likes Rafferty.

Girls names are Sylvie Ada, Robyn, Nina, Iris, Thea, Una.

I'm confident we could get a girls name but if it was a boy would everyone think we'd copied Eastenders? (I don't watch soaps and have no idea what characters are called. )

What do you think of our names?

I would think of Eastenders, but of Arthur husband of Pauline.

Even the lovely Bradley James didn't alter my way of seeing it as an old man's name (probably a man in a beige cardigan).

As soon as I read title I though Arthur Daily . Sorry

Wouldn't think of Eastenders at all. Your other names are lovely, but seem less popular than Arthur. If you're concerned about popularity, be warned, there are lots of baby Arthurs around at he moment.

Would never connect it to Eastenders!!! I quite like it and I adore nn Art.

I think it's a lovely name that I couldn't use because our surname turns it into an old sitcom character.

I think of King Arthur rather than Eastenders, but then I don't watch Eastenders.

Arthur is lovely. I like ada and iris best out of your list for a girl, but they're all lovely. I don't watch eastenders though.
