Brother for Arthur??

32 replies

glw0408 · 29/08/2021 16:20

I have a 5 YO Arthur and have no idea what to call baby number 2

I love traditional names but also not too commonly used, I love Henry Edward etc but to me with Arthur it seems too Royal? Too many Kings? It seems to become a bit of a theme then which I want to avoid!

Really stuck for names so any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance :) x

I have an Arthur with brothers Stanley and Ernest. We also considered Clarence and Neville, and DH liked Austin and Morgan.

I have an Arthur whose middle name is Sydney after my grandad :)

Im having another boy and we are thinking of Cameron.
I also like Benjamin and Henry.

It's hard picking names! I actually kinda want to name #2 as Sydney but since Arthur already has it as his middle name I don't think I can now.

I don’t see why using Henry or Edward make it too royal. They’re good names. King Arthur is a myth.

I don’t mind a string of Royal names personally so would add John, Robert and Richard

Stanley was what came to mind immediately for me.
