Jessica
Arthur

That's all we have! Last name is very short, only 4 letters begins with P

Oh really Ruth? I do like it, i actually love Jessica in True Blood!
I'm not too worried about how popular names are, doesn't bother me really although I dont know any big or little Arthur's!

Arthur is lovely but very very popular. Jessica is my least favourite name ever.

See i was set on Jessica. I've had a list for years and it's always been the top! But then I met a Jessica and she ate with her mouth open and it's put me off! My husband really liked it when I suggested it and now it's his top name he doesn't pick any names I suggest over it.

I quite like Poppy because she would be poppy Pxxx and I think it sounds cool
Middle name for Arthur is Sydney which would be after my lovely grandad.
Not sure about middle names for a girl. Maybe Lynn or Evelyn but not thought too much about it.

Both are lovely, Arthur is fab!

I like Arthur, and the fact it has sentimental meaning to you makes a good choice.

Not overly keen on Jessica, just feels a bit 90s to me.

Disfordarkchocolate · 01/03/2019 19:14

I like both a lot, are you having middle names?

Posted too soon.

Nothing wrong with Jessica, it’s not weird or anything, it’s just (IMO) meh.

Quietplace19 · 01/03/2019 19:13

Jessica is lovely, Arthur is pretty grim sorry.

FaceLikeAPairOfTits · 01/03/2019 19:12

Love Arthur, and also the Art shortening.

IMO Jessica is really boring, a non-name, like Hannah.

NuffSaidSam · 01/03/2019 19:11

Both nice. I don't love either of them, but they're both good names.
