I really like Arthur.
Thoughts on the name in general and any nicknames would be appreciated:)

Nice name but there are SO many - every second male baby I know is an Arthur - the rest are Teddy or Bertie

Nice enough but very popular. Artie would be the natural shortening but I don't like it as much as Arthur - it has a very different vibe (a "cheeky rascal" name like Sonny or Alfie).

It’s nice but so popular. I imagine it will
date as it falls back down in popularity.

Oh is it popular? I don't know anyone at all with the name!

It's great but ridiculously popular.

I know an Arthur-Jorge nn AJ

I think Arthur's cute, I'm not sure i'd nn it though but Artie sounds like a nn and is still cute.
