Arthur or Stanley?

[Lutrine]

Which do you prefer? One is my favourite, the other my DHs! Whichever we use, we'd have the other choice as a middle name I think.
Other boy names we like are Edward or Theodore (Ted for short!) or Travis, not as keen on these though :)

Arthur....love it!

Love the name Stanley

I love both but I think Arthur Stanley sounds nicer than Stanley Arthur :)

Stanley.

Stanley!

Are you me? All these names are on my top list and dc will be called them. I love them all

Arthur. Stanley is awful.

Edward is better than both.

I have a Stanley Arthur! Good choice ; )

Arthur. Stanley is getting too popular

I have an Arthur :)

I know twins called Arthur and Stanley! Arthur's middle name is Edward, how funny.

Stanley is really cute.

If DD1 had been a boy, she would've been Edward, but we had gone off it by the time DS was born 5 years later.

The only one one your names I like is Theodore. I like Ted or Teddy as a nickname, and he could also be Theo.

I love them both. Stanley is my DSs middle name. I couldn't use Arthur as its one of my best friend's name and he would have been freaked out. But love Arthur Stanley.

stanley - love it

wow - are you giving birth to a 90 year old? Why oh why? would you do this to a child?

Edward is much better.

Thankyou everyone! It's about 50/50 so far, with a few neithers! Looks like we'd be in good company too if we use one of them ! My DH has just thrown Alfie /Alfred in too, so we have three great boy names, planning to see which suits the baby/which it feels most natural to call him(if we do have a boy that is!) when they arrive in a few weeks! Will try to remember to let you know which we pick!

Sorry about all the exclamation marks by the way

My dear dad is Stanley and FIL is Arthur

Stanley George and Arthur Clarence

I also have an uncle Alfred (Alf)

Your family have great names coralanne! George is one of my favourites too, but hasn't made it to our shortlist cos its DHs best friends name.

Look would you please consider the child? He would not want to called Arthur or Stanley. Interview anyone under twenty and ask whether they would mind. No offence but hell's teeth!

I teach so can do that easily catballou, I'll ask my form what they think, and see if I get a "miss, are you mad?!" reaction! Mind you, one of them suggested Bertie or Bernie the other day (quite seriously too!)
