Help! Which do you prefer from these boys names:

Samuel
Joseph
Edward
Thomas
Arthur
Henry

I know they're all popular, so it's hard to choose between them. They all go equally well with our surname and we like all the nicknames. Any suggestions of reasons to pick one above the others??

Joseph but I'm biased as I have my very own little Go go go Joseph.

Arthur or Joe/Joseph

Definitely Thomas/Tom.

If a one-syllable nickname is important to you, then don't go for Arthur. Art is awkward.

I like them all though!

In order:

Tom
Ed
Henry (although prefer nn Hal to Hen)
Art
Joe
Sam

But I like them all, they all strike me as strong and handsome names. You have similar taste in names to me.
