Arthur, Wilfred or Reuben?

[Flowerface]

Wilfred doesn't go with our surname really, but I LOVE it... Thoughts?

My friend loved Ichabod, thankfully her DP vetoed it :-)

I think Wilfred is due a revival - I am finding myself liking it more and more.

I like Wilfred best of the three.
It doesn't have to be nn Wilf, you could have Freddy or Will instead.

Not keen on Wilfred, or Arthur ( I know an Arthor!). I love the name Reuben (but I'm a tad biased)!

I love Reuben but it will always be the name of the man who ruined Black Beauty'd knees...

Wilfred is a great name! A nice strong name with a cool nickname of Wilf - I know several and they all carry it off with style.

Arthur is also a great name! But not so keen on the nn Art.

Rueben is ok but not as good as the others.

I watched a programme about Wilfred Owen around rememberance day. Thought it was a pretty cool name but I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to use it if we ever had any more kids.

Wilfred is awful, I really don't like it.

Arthur is quite trendy.

Ruben is my favourite.

Love Arthur and Rueben. Wilfred is unusual and I quite like the nickname, not sure if it is too unusual though

meant to type the nickname Wilf

Love Reuben, not keen on others (both v. old man) although nn Wilf does sound strangely cool - bit mad inventorish!

Although nn Art is cool.

All three are lovely, love the nn's Wilf and Arty! x

Absolutely love the name Wilfred. Reuben is lovely too :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE Reuben!! Suggested it to DH when pregnant with DS2. Didn't go down well. What do they know?!

I think Art is a nice name and Will or Wilf but not the longer versions, sorry.

I do like Reuben.

All gorgeous names......but i gotta say...Reuben is the winner as its what im planning to call my son :)

Reuben. Don't like the other two, sorry.

Love Arthur for Anglo-Saxon surnames.

Love Ruben for hispanic surnames (it is a common name in the USA, though)...

All lovely.

I think my fave is Wilfred. Could be Wilf or Freddie.

Arthur. Art is cute.

Wilfred is an awful name (IMHO).

Reuben is ... ok.

LOL @ Arthus!

Rufus?

Ooooh you have great taste in names - all ones we considered for our DS

I loved Wilfred but we too dismissed it as did't go with surname (begins with a W too and I thought the alliteration was too much). Reuben is lovely but very popular round our way.

We went for Arthur in the end and LOVE it, we always get nice comments - no one has said they thought it was "terribly self conscious" and "trendy" - see previous posts! Its just a nice name I think.

I love all three. Good luck choosing!

I love them all. We've just named our son Arthur Henry, so obviously Arthur is my favourite. Wilfred is my second favourite.
