Is Arthur too 'old man'?

[Flowerface]

I am 39 weeks preg. This is our boy's name and was last time (but DD was a DD). And I have always really liked it, but I am having a final hour wobble... Is it too old man?

It's lovely. And it's a king's name. And I am biased...

No it's cool. I know one who is 8 and one who is 6 weeks old.

No. Could have Art or Arty as nn. (Thinks Art Garfunkel)

There are many, many young Arthurs around at the moment.

Yes squoosh, too many for my liking! We had it first!

BikeRunSki, know my ds do you?

Love it. But it is enjoying a bit if a resurgence lately; there are a couple of celebrity babies called Arthur, and I know of two little boys called Arthur where I live. It may be a bit 'of the moment', but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Similar to Florence for a girl.

Art and Artie v. cute nicknames too.

Cute, lots of that era of names making a comeback at the minute

I love Arthur and Arti is a great nickname.

Perhaps I should have been worrying that it was too trendy rather than too old man! But thanks - this has reinforced my love for it!

I can't resist saying Arfur in the style of Olive from 'On the Buses'

We have a little Arthur who is almost two so I am biased in saying I love it . I have heard it is becoming more popular but he is still the only one we have come across and we have always had nice comments about it. And yes he does call himself "Arfur"!

no, it;s lovely.

Lovely noble name

Nope, I know a mini Arthur and it doesn't seem silly on him at all.

Plus I'll bet you good money that those old men started out as little babies

We have a 1 year-old Arthur, named after his granddad, so deliberately old man! But we love it, it suits him down to the ground, and it gets lots of nice reactions.

I love it (DH vetoed but we're having a girl anyway) and I love the shortening to Arty

I know a lovely arthur. I think his mum is on here

Not mad keen on Arthur, but love Artie and Art, great choice!
