Please vote on these three boy's names

[Boxofbugs]

Arthur
William
Joshua

One is my choice, one is DH's, one is a compromise.

[FloatingHandle]

William

[Rufustherednosedreindeer]

Joshua
Arthur
William

Have you though about all of the obvious nicknames and shortenings?

[ToffeeJungle]

In order of preference:
Joshua
William
Arthur

[CarriMarie]

Joshua
Arthur
William

[soontobeslendergirl]

William then Arthur then Joshua.

Never know how to say Joshua - i.e. Josh oo a or Josh wa and Josh is a boy's name not a man's.

[MadameJosephine]

Love William. I like Joshua but don't like it shortened to josh which is inevitable. Not keen on Arthur, sorry

[CarryOnDancing]

My vote is Arthur, William and then Joshua. I'd have Arthur myself if it wasn't suddenly popular in my area. I love Art and Artie. I don't love William or Joshua but they are both fine, useable names.

[AngryBeaver]

William
Joshua
Arthur (bleurgh)

[strawberrypenguin]

William, Arthur, Joshua. But I am a bit biased as I have a William. Arthur was also on our short list!

[SantasLittleMonkeyButler]

Nice names!

In order of preference I would put them;

Arthur
William
Joshua

I think William is probably the most popular at the moment (certainly quite a few baby/little Williams around here). Joshua was very very popular around 10-15 years ago but I don't know of any little Joshuas at the moment.

Arthur is lovely, getting more popular but not overused I don't think. I really wanted my friend to call her baby Arthur but she went for Henry instead!

[Wishfulmakeupping]

Arthur is my favourite but if you are using Bill as nn for William then that might edge it

[NorbertDentressangle]

Arthur (but nn Art)
William (but nn Will)
Joshua (not keen at all)

[ExcuseTypos]

Exactly the same as Norbert, including the nns.

[Lovethebubbles]

Joshua then William. Dislike Arthur

[ZenNudist]

William
Arthur
Joshua
Only like William.
Think Joshua was a bit too popular 10 years ago & dated right now.

[soimpressed]

William. Don't like Joshua and really don't like Arthur.

[CarolPrankster]

I agree with Norber too

[AnAdventureInCakeAndWine]

1. Arthur
2. William
3. Joshua

They are all fine, though.

[greeneyes1978]

Arthur, lovely.

[Boxofbugs]

Thank you. So far there is no clear front runner.

We would not choose to shorten any of the names so no Artie, Bill or Josh. Obviously that might happen at school etc but it would not start at home.

[Reiltin]

Joshua, William, Arthur is my order of preference

[justhayley]

Joshua
William
Arthur

[Thesebootsweremadeforwalking]

William. Not keen on the other two.

[Ilovekittyelise]

[FortyMerryFuckers]
