Arthur
William
Joshua

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

I like all of them

I was going to say I like William best but while reading through the thread I started to think how lovely Joshua actually is. Arthur is really cute as well. Which was your pick and which your DH?

Arthur, then William.

Really don't like Joshua, sorry.

William and Arthur are both lovely. Joshua's are ten a penny in my area...

I vote Arthur. There are about a gazillion Josh's around so I would avoid that.

Arthur, love it.

Others are a bit overdone.

William is lovely

Joshua was nice enough once it's but been done a million times over.

Arthur, I'm not sure what think. My instinct is it's pretty awful, an old cloth-capped man's name, now a fashionable old-man-style name which will go out of fashion and seem dated again quite quickly, as it's no classic (despite the kings). Nice for a cat or a mouse though.
