All good, my preference order is Ben, Max, Arthur, but think you have realised your heart’s in Arthur Grin

BreastedBoobilyToTheStairs · 18/10/2019 16:35

To be honest, Max Arthur Benjamin sounds like a great name to me!

Ginandgingers92 · 18/10/2019 16:12

I really like Max and Arthur, but do think the latter is ultra popular these days, so you may end up sending little one to school with another 4 Arthurs..

57Varieties · 18/10/2019 16:03

Arthur is god awful. The others are nice

Boireannachlaidir · 18/10/2019 15:24

Arthur

Lisajg23 · 18/10/2019 15:16

I like max and Ben the most. My friends dad who is 70 is called Arthur so unfortunately I relate it to that. But it is back in fashion now x

@071019DD has your little one arrived yet? What’s the name chosen? Been thinking of you being overdue

RachelEllenR · 18/10/2019 14:56

I LOVE Benjamin/Ben, I like Max and I don't like Arthur. Clara and Arthur is too many ah sounds for me too. I really like the names James and Clara too!

december20100 · 18/10/2019 14:52

I like Max :)

MrsBertBibby · 16/10/2019 05:12

Max is great, and sits very well with your other names.

Really dislike Arthur. Benjamin is OK, but not fab.

@MissHenty not due until the new year so it could change but I think at the moment we’re leaning towards Arthur

Benjamin first, then Arthur. Max is a dog's name imo Blush

MissHenty · 15/10/2019 21:05

Have you made a decision @PandasMum

I love arthur

FreshHorizons · 15/10/2019 17:14

Benjamin

funkt · 15/10/2019 17:13

Benjamin. Adore the name, would so call a son that. Nn are adorable too. Ben or Benji (then again, I know a Benjamin growing up with the nickname "Bin"!)

Arthur and Clara sound a bit silly together.

Benjamin is lovely.

georgialondon · 14/10/2019 19:35

Arthur

071019DD · 14/10/2019 19:32

Love all 3 OP. If I had to pick one I'd probably pick Benjamin. LOVE Clara btw! Good luck!

thenightfury · 14/10/2019 19:06

DS would be called Benjamin if DH had agreed! Like Arthur too.

AFairlyHardAvocado · 14/10/2019 18:36

I love Ben, its such a good name for suiting every age.

And I haven't heard of any little ones called that recently.

It's my brother's name so not sure if I would use it or not (sometimes makes me like it more and sometimes think it might be strange!) but I love it Smile

Shadowboy · 14/10/2019 18:34

I like Ben and Aurthur but really don’t like Max

daisypond · 14/10/2019 18:31

Benjamin and Max are my favourites. Arthur is OK but it’s having a moment, so will date obviously. But I think it goes best with your other DC names.

VenusClapTrap · 14/10/2019 18:28

Arthur. Ben and Max are so boring.

nevernotstruggling · 14/10/2019 18:27

Ben, because it's the least common
