I absolutely love it but my husband isn't sold. He also says it "Arfa" 😂
Love the King Arthur connotations, anything history related or Celtic/Scandi as my family are a mix of both, husband is English. Last name is Smith.

Arthur is SO old-fashioned. It's my (late) dad's name, and he was born in 1918.

You could do a variation - Arto or Artie, like these and they are unusual without being made up.

Gawain, but people say it differently. I know one and he gets called Gowan/Gawin/Gah-wayne. I thought he was Gavin for ages.

The great thing about Smith is you can go all out as its a name that works best with something long and a bit complicated.
