Samuel or Arthur?

DH and I are at deadlock here - Samuel or Arthur? My issue with Samuel is that I tend to think of Sam as a girls name, and also I'd like Stanley as a middle name (for sentimental reasons). Samuel Stanley?? Hmm not sure that goes.

DH says that Arthur sounds too posh and pretentious and also has potential for nicknames including the word farty!

I don't think he's going to come around to Arthur, so think I need to try and let Samuel grow on me, but would appreciate oppinions either way!

Adore Arthur too. Samuel seems a little...boring..in comparison, in my opinion.

I know, that is exactly how I feel. I like Samuel, but feel a little sad at using it in comparison to Arthur. I like Theodore too but getting DH to agree to anything is a nightmare!
