A choice of two...

[fredandginger]

Arthur Rupert
or
Wilfred Matthew

Which would you choose and why?

Arthur Rupert is great

Arthur Rupert sounds lovely

Like Rupert, Wilfred and Matthew - hate Arthur.

If your surname is Smth,the Wilf Smth is too like Will Smith lol.

It's not Smith, don't worry Scout :) Thanks for the feedback, certainly something I'll be pondering for a little while yet.

DH likes Arthur but not Rupert, but is willing to give in (think witnessing childbirth the first time around has heightened his respect for Mums and therefore he thinks I should get something a little 'extra'..... alongside jewellery of course!)

I'm 50/50 on the first names, but absolutely LOVE Rupert, and Wilfred Rupert sounds all wrong

Wilfred

So we've gone round in circles a little, and I'm shocked as DH has actually started to come round to the name Rupert!

So now I can't decide between Arthur or Rupert as first names....! It's driving me crazy

I think it would either be:

Rupert Francis (cannot believe DH is considering this!)
or
Arthur Rupert (which I also love)

Which would you choose?

Arthur Rupert, out of your new choices.

Although if you "absolutely LOVE Rupert" and your DH is coming round, I can't understand why you wouldn't have Rupert as the first name.

Wilfred Matthew. For me (and you did ask) Rupert is a rather chinless, dim posh boy.

Love Wilfred and Rupert so would go with Wilfred James Rupert.

Out of the new choices definitely Rupert not sure about Francis though.

Love Arthur.

Liking Rupert Francis a lot.

Rupert Francis is a lovely combo, I agree.

PhasesRUs, would your association with Rupert (chinless, dim boy), change if you met a charming, clever one?

Wilfred is a great name but i am very biased!!

I'm afraid I don't like Rupert so I'd go for Francis Arthur, Francis Matthew, Wilfred Matthew, Wilfred Francis.

Can I suggest Arthur Matthew? Loathe the other two.

Mayanna123: Of course. I also believe it's very possible to be totally charming as well as chinless and a little dim ? but I'm thinking of no Tory politician in particular, of course!)

" would your association with Rupert (chinless, dim boy), change if you met a charming, clever one "

Rupert Everett. What a waste. :o

I'd prefer Arthur over Wilfred as I don't really like Wilfred at all (despite loving Wilfred Owen)...but Rupert would also be a no-no for me. Matthew is fine...so I'd go for Arthur Matthew.

The only names I really like on your lists are Francis and Matthew.

I can't get over my hatred of Rupert the bear

I don't think Arthur Rupert go because of the two R's together, but Arthur is way nicer than Rupert.
Arthur Francis, Francis Arthur or Arthur Matthew.

I agree with a few of the other posters- Arthur Matthew James.
