I'm having a really hard time deciding which one to go for,
Surname is one syllable and starts with G. X

They are all equally nice and all very popular classic names. You can’t go wrong. Maybe see what baby suits when they arrive

Arthur and George both sound grey and stodgy to me.

I really like James, though!

James

I really like all three but I think maybe James has the edge.

George

I think I might be tempted to use all 3: George Arthur James G** flows very well.

James

DramaAlpaca · 13/04/2021 23:11

James, definitely.

WeekendCEO · 13/04/2021 23:10

James is really nice. I like George as well, not keen on Arthur.

OppsUpsSide · 13/04/2021 23:05

James

George and Arthur are much more popular and not as nice James.

James or George. Not Arthur sounds like an old man with a pipe.

worriedatthemoment · 13/04/2021 18:33

Arthur is quite popular now
Other 2 are both timeless names in my opinion

ThatsGoodCakeLove · 13/04/2021 17:03

James, definitely the nicest name of the three. And a wonderful band too.

MrsBertBibby · 13/04/2021 16:10

James, by a country mile.

I love James and pp are right about it not being as popular any more. I honestly expected to hear it around a lot more than I have.

I also agree with waiting now until baby is here. He might fit one better than the others.

ChnandlerBong · 13/04/2021 15:25

depends how the 'g' in the surname sounds - is it a j sound or a g sound?

but do agree with the poster saying best wait and see what he looks like?

Flymetothestars · 13/04/2021 15:13

James

toastofthetown · 13/04/2021 14:49

They are all fine names, and fairly ubiquitous. Why not wait until the baby is born and see what feels right then?

KoalaOok · 13/04/2021 13:37

I would go Arthur as your last name begins with a G

Extrapepperoni · 13/04/2021 12:55

James.
