Middle names for Arthur

52 replies

Hi everyone!
I'm expecting a baby boy in July and I have my heart set on the name Arthur. However I'm struggling on finding a middle name for him- I want to keep the middle name vintage themed like his name. I did think of 'Arthur Vincent' and 'Arthur Ernest' but not 100% on it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! <3

Thank you x

I love the previous suggestion of Benedict, I think the three syllables balance Arthur and James nicely.

Other ideas:
Theodore
Cassius
Zachary
Harrison
Dominic

Wow, you guys have gave me some great recommendations. James sounds nice but the thing is James will be his surname!

I actually think Arthur James James would be rather good! Don't rule it out!

An old friend with a double barrel name is called the equivalent of Arthur James-Arthur. I've always thought it was a great name. I think Arthur James James even better.

(But I do like Arthur Edward, also, obviously).

Can you stop spreading negativity? it's unnecessary and unkind.

I thought of James Arthur straight away but I get everyone might not know who he is. I like Arthur Laurence

I didn't even think of that! Personally I don't see it to be a problem as the singer isn't called Arthur J

In my family the boys have their father's name as a middle name. My brother's name is Daniel so my nephew's name is Arthur Daniel.

Relaxd · 22/01/2025 16:58

Arthur Caleb James
Arthur Jeremiah James
Arthur Edward James
Arthur Angus James

or maybe pick a family name, it’s quite nice to be named after an historic relative
