Arthwr

DH (not British) says Arthur is too English. He likes Welsh names (I am Welsh) and has googled and says Arthwr is a Welsh spelling. It's not one I have ever heard and I think it's pretty obscure...it's a crazy idea right? A small part of me does wonder if it works though, and with Arthur shooting up the popularity charts maybe it would be an idea... After all no one thinks the welsh spellings of Alys and Huw are silly do they?

Please help my pregnancy befuddled brain on this one. Only 4 weeks to go! We have other ideas but none of the welsh ones are really standing out as much as DS1's did, and there aren't any from DH's country that he loves, in fact he hasn't suggested any at all!

I don't know if you will see this but I was called Arthwr (2007) and I have spent my entire life correcting spelling and has been the bane of my existence.

ZOMBIE THREAD ABOUT A MADE UP NAME

I was talking about how my name was ridiculous with my sister and then I got curious and search it up online and it was the only thing that came up spelt this way.
