Hmm, all good, I'd say no to Arthur as it's the one that's the most trendy now so it will probably date a wee bit. Also hate Art as a nn.

Benjamin you can't go wrong with, I'd say Max is more interesting though so would go for that.

All very popular.

I'd choose Arthur as Ben and Max are a little dull imo.

TottieandMarchpane · 14/10/2019 12:28

Arthur or Ben(jamin). Both lovely.

Max has been done to death, I think.

I love Max and Benjamin. Both were in our final 5 for DS1! Arthur I'm not a fan of. Seems a bit stuffy in comparison.

I like Arthur and Benjamin but not keen on Max. I don’t like Ben either but love Benji.

Ben!

All very similar, don't think you can go wrong with any of them (sorry, not much help!!)

DramaAlpaca · 14/10/2019 01:42

All good, strong names. I think Arthur is having a moment but will date again, lovely though it is. Max is the sort of nice, neat, short name that I go for, but wouldn't be my favourite. Benjamin is great, it's timeless & classic & suits every age. It's a bit long for me personally, but I really like Ben. In short all of them are good choices.

Apolloanddaphne · 14/10/2019 01:38

Benjamin. I love the name Ben.
