What do you think of the name

Arlo Arthur James Livingstone

Or

Arlo Mathew James Livingstone

Does it flow? Do you like it?

Thank you Smile

Arlo Matthew James flows best, I like Ezra and Jude on your list.

BreakHerOffAKitKat · 24/02/2020 20:48

How about Arlo James Matthew? Flows better with James as the second name

Thank you @Whatsyourflava ♥️

It's not to everyone's liking, OH has his heart set on it and I do really like it too.

Just not sure it's the "one"

Any suggestions appreciated Smile

I absolutely love Arlo @CLivvy ❤️❤️
I don’t think middle names are that important to be honest- all of them listed sound good I think

BobbyBlueCat · 24/02/2020 20:39

They're both lovely if the Arlo part was taken away!

If you're set on Arlo, then it works better with Matthew than Arthur.

Thank you everyone :)

@luckymagnoliatree yes Mathew James both have special meaning to us. Mathew (yes with one T) is my Dads name, and James is the middle name of all the boys on my OH's side of the family - so we would be keen to have both :)

We're open to other suggestions on first names, OH is pretty set on Arlo, however I also like;

Kian
Ezra
Jude
Sonny
Isaac
Flynn

I think Arlo Matthew James flows better, agree that with the surname it is very long. Do the middle names have a special meaning to you?

I have 2 middle names, one longer (9 letters) & one shorter (6 letters) which was fine with my short 5 letter maiden name... It's a pain now I'm married as my DH had a double barrelled surname already; so now I struggle to fit it on forms 🙈😂

Arlo isn't to my personal taste but I don't dislike it, if you love it then you should use it and not worry what others think 🙂

Arlo Matthew James

Arlo Arthur is a bit clunky

DramaAlpaca · 24/02/2020 20:06

I think Arlo Mathew James flows better.

ZebraKid71 · 24/02/2020 20:04

Alro isn't my style but Arlo Matthew flows much better than Arlo Arthur imo.

SomeLikeItTepid · 24/02/2020 20:00

I love both! Although that's probably not very helpful is it!?

RhodaDendron · 24/02/2020 19:45

I love Arlo and think Arlo Arthur James is a beautiful name!

Doodlesquah1 · 24/02/2020 19:35

Too long IMO!
I hate the name Arlo too.
I like Matthew James Livingstone without Arlo
