Canvassing for ideas on Arthur. It's a good strong name and I like it not being too popular. I can't work out if I actually like 'it' though. Is it horrendous or lovely? Can't help thinking it's v old fashioned and maybe a bit ugly as a word. But I'd love love my son to have a name that isn't ten a penny all through his growing up years and can't think of any others. It's a bit of a family name so works from that point of view too.
Other names we like are Sam and Oliver but they are SOOOO common (ie. there are millions of them).
Middle name could be Brian (family name) but Arthur Brian might be a bit unfair on the poor little thing. Thoughts??
