I like them all but Alexander is my favourite.

VeryFoolishFay · 05/06/2017 16:16

Arthur sounds like a gentle, loving, hardworking person

It's my DF's name and that's exactly who he is!
When they met and he told my DM his name, she told him to stop joking.
Had I another son, that would have been his name.

He is quite an old man now, but still alive and kicking!

Luke

ohhbother · 05/06/2017 14:28

Arthur!

YouWhatMate · 05/06/2017 13:22

Love Felix
Like Alexander a lot (but not Alex)
Luke is super boring
Arthur is horrible

ScarletSienna · 05/06/2017 13:12

I love Alexander!

From great to awful:
Alexander
Luke and Felix

Arthur

Just like a pp, I really don't like Arthur. It's so murky sounding and makes me think of grim, dirty chimney pots. Yeah it's irrational!

ScarletForYa · 05/06/2017 12:28

Luke by a country mile.

Alexander is done to death, Arthur it's a old man's name, Felix is a cat.

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 05/06/2017 12:24

My ds is Felix. We chose it because I love it's meaning - happy or lucky. I also think it hits a perfect balance between a name that has been around for centuries and is still a bit fun and quirky.

We clearly like the same sort of names as one of ds's middle names is Arthur!

loumaria15 · 03/06/2017 20:56

Love the name Arthur, sounds like a little gentlemanSmile

eachtigertires · 03/06/2017 20:53

Luke. OH says Arthur.

ImMrsBrightside · 03/06/2017 19:01

Felix. Alexander will just become Alex or Al.

bluechameleon · 03/06/2017 16:40

Alexander. Also like Arthur. Not keen on Felix.

Crunchyside · 03/06/2017 15:00

I like Arthur and Luke. If you like Arthur maybe you might also like Albert? Smile I met a really cute toddler Albert the other day!

Pancaker · 03/06/2017 14:52

Felix

PinkCrystal · 03/06/2017 14:44

Luke

heymrtambourineman · 03/06/2017 13:03

Alexander
Felix
Luke

They're all lovely names. The only one I don't like is Arthur.

FizzyGreenWater · 03/06/2017 13:00

Felix.

I know several Lukes! Not underused at all.

Redpramlady · 03/06/2017 10:11

Luke as it's underused
Second alexander
Arthur
Felix ... can't get the cat out my mind

UsaNayme · 02/06/2017 12:31

Luke

Then: Alexander, Arthur, Felix. In that order.
But I love Arthur and can't use it, so I might just be bitterly pushing it down

Amethistle · 01/06/2017 20:36

Felix

Emma2803 · 01/06/2017 18:05

Luke is my favourite, thinking of using if dc2 is a boy. Felix is second. Arthur and Alexander joint last. For me Alexander is way too fussy and snooty. Arthur is too much of an old man name I think.

spankhurst · 01/06/2017 17:17

Alexander, then Luke. Don't like Felix as it's so strongly associated in my head with cats. Arthur is not great although I like Arty.

vitaminC · 01/06/2017 17:13

I like Arthur, Alexander and Felix equally.

Not keen on Luke, although I love the French version Luc (I live in France). Not sure why though. I also like Lucien or Lucian.

Ontopofthesunset · 01/06/2017 17:11

My order of preference:

Alexander
Felix
Luke
Arthur

Lobsterquadrille2 · 01/06/2017 17:06

Definitely Felix for me. Not keen on Luke but I know two boys called Luca and both are lovely. Alexander is always going to be Alex. Arthur would be my second choice of the four.
