Which do you prefer...?

I'm due my 3rd baby in just over 2 weeks. We've kept the sex of this baby a surprise this time round. Girls name we've already decided on, but boys we're struggling with. We've narrowed it down to two but can't decide which one is a nicer name and goes better with our other two children's name (Noah George and Grace Olivia). The two names we've chosen are - Oliver Benjamin or Arthur William. Any thoughts on which you prefer or that you think go better with our children. TIA.

Arthur William by miles and miles Smile

I like it because I just think it's a much nicer sound. I prefer Arthur to Oliver and I prefer William to Benjamin. I think Arthur William sound much better together than Oliver Benjamin. So all in all an easy choice for me!

Arthur William

I think Oliver sits better with the vibe of your other children's names but Arthur is much cooler as a name.

Arthur William

Noah, Grace and Oliver.

Middle names are never mentioned after the birth announcement so I never take them into account.

Arthur

I like Oliver

They are both v nice

I think Oliver goes slightly better with your children's names

Arthur Benjamin

Love the name Oliver. Not so keen on Arthur.
