Last vibe check - would love opinions! Nathaniel or Arthur - what are we saying?

Surname is pronounced like Leo.

I love both names, Nathaniel always makes me think of that gorgeous actor Nathaniel Parker, but for some unknown reason I am more drawn to Arthur

Arthur by a long way!

Both lovely names, but there are a LOT of little Arthur's around at the moment, so it would depend if that would worry you. I love Nathaniel and Nate is a great shortened name.

Nathaniel / Nate … I’m not keen on old people names though so Arthur would be out for me

Nate/art leo. That's what you're looking at. Both are nice x

Nathaniel will get shortened, so I'd pick Arthur.
I wouldn't pick either of them FWIW.
