For my SIL.. it’s between these 2 options so she isn’t after suggestions, just which people think is better.

Those saying jack is overdone - Arthur is also ridiculously popular!

Yes it is, but not for anywhere near as long as Jack (yet). Jack was top three for nearly 20 years. It’s only just left the top ten.

Arthur Jack

Arthur Jack. X

I prefer Jack Arthur but the surname White makes me go towards Arthur Jack (avoiding Jaws as initials!).

Only on Mumsnet would someone post asking for preferences on Arthur Jack/Jack Arthur and get told to go with ARTEMIS 🤣🤣

I thought the same 😂

I think Arthur Jack sounds best, but both are lovely names. Hopefully she’ll just know when she sees him!

TenThousandSpoons · 23/11/2022 20:23

Arthur Jack with the surname White. But both are lovely.

She would definitely not like the name Artemis. As I said; both names are very special to her so she isn’t looking for suggestions, just which order people think works best with these 2 names they have chosen.

Artemis is a girls’ name; she was a Greek goddess.

Arthur Jack.

Jack is a really, really common forename. White is a pretty common surname. Jack White is in for a lifetime of admin mix-ups.

This is a good point 🙈 more unusual names are her style at all so I think he is destined for a popular name.

Arthur Jack even though it'f far more popular than Jack now.
