Arthur

[TinkerMaloo]

my 27 week old bump is a boy and is called Arthur :)

In reading these thread over the past few weeks though it looks like its about to sky-rocket in popularity! I already have a Daniel and was hoping that this time my little boy wasnt going to be one of 3 in the class but it looks like he might!?

How many baby Arthurs are there out there!? Or is it a name people just consider then choose something else instead?

I've met one at a baby group recently. He was about 3 months old.

I know one who is preteen
Don't know any babies

My nephew who turned 1 yesterday is an Arthur (or Ar-har as everyone is calling him thanks to my DD)

I too really love Arthur, but am horrified about its rising popularity as it seems to be on alot of threads here. I get a feeling it's going to be the next Alfie/Charlie! I'm going to have to rethink my choices!

Two of my favouritest MNers have just had baby Arthurs, another Mum at dd's school has an 8wo Arthur and I've seen a few more announced in the paper in the last few months. It's the new Oliver/Harry/Jack/Max round here.

I'm not keen on Arthur at all. But each to their own opinion.

I love Arthur too, but along with Jack and Finn/Flynn it's in the top 3 most popular names here. There are loadsof them. And David Cameron has one.

Arthur is soaring in popularity. Good name though.

I love Arthur. DP vetoed it

ok so as long as everyone else sees that its rising up the ranks and chooses something else instead then I'll be ok ;)

I have a one year old Arthur - see post by AmazingFerret :)

I love Arthur but couldn't use it as that's the dog next door's name. Wonderful name, especially said in a French accent.

I know one who is six, and one who is three.

I know a couple of baby Arthurs and a couple of baby Marthas. It's fun getting them together.

I am planning on calling my 25 week bump Arthur. I love Oliver but decided against it as so popular. Is Arthur really that popular? I look after under 5s and don't know any! Please don't let it be the next Oliver/Jack?!

It's a lovely name. I'm just jealous because DH vetoed it. It is growing in popularity in South East - don't know about elsewhere.

I was seriously considering it - then I realised it's the name of one of the Cameron children.

There is one in my sons class, I also have a friend who is my age (25/26) called Arthur. It suits both of them :)

Love it! Only know one, he is about 5 years old.

love it. Know a couple under 5, and is DS middle name as was my darling dad's name.

Arthur is my DN(1) name and also DS (4) middle name. It is my grandad's name and I love it.

It is getting very popular. I have a baby Arthur and the registrar said she had had quite a few recently. I've liked it for years but only just had dh coming around to it coinciding with a baby of the appropriate sex .

I've met/heard of a few Arthurs lately - mostly babies. It's a sweet name though and if you've been wanting to call bump that, you might not be able to think of another you love as much?

One of my twins is an Arthur. (20 months old.) I hadn't realized it was getting popular. I wanted something a bit unusual. It really suits him, though.
