Already have an Edward and am looking for a boys name to go with it. Like Arthur and Henry and keen to know thoughts and other suggestions. Thanks!

Arthur is adorable.

DramaAlpaca · 02/03/2014 21:40

I'm no help, I like both.

Adiltam2 · 02/03/2014 21:43

Love both but Arthur just wins it for me.

Wishfulmakeupping · 02/03/2014 21:56

Henry my all time favourite boys name but oh hates it :(

Cuxibamba · 02/03/2014 22:55

Henry. I love it!

thegreatgatsby101 · 03/03/2014 06:52

They are both fab names. I think Arthur slightly pips because I think Art is cooler on a teen/twenty something than Henry.

Mim78 · 03/03/2014 13:04

Arthur!

Claryrocks · 03/03/2014 13:38

Thank you! I do think Arthur slightly has it for me. I just don't really like Art or Artie as nicknames. Although I did read Arto as one on here for Arthur which is quite cute.

Arthur (know a horrid boy called Henry!)

Adiltam2 · 03/03/2014 15:26

Henry never gets shortened so why shorten Arthur? They are both great names that shouldn't be abbreviated.

sonlypuppyfat · 03/03/2014 15:30

I went to school with an Arthur his life was made a misery every day, awful name.

loveliesbleeding1 · 03/03/2014 15:32

Henry, love it, and also can be Harry, like prince Harry.

therunnawaybride · 03/03/2014 15:43

Love both but prefer Arthur just because I suggested it to dh for ds's name and he immediately said 'Hoover' that took the shine off of it for me. Arthur is my no1 name on my 'if I ever have another ds' list Smile

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/03/2014 15:47

Arthur - not fond of Henry, sorry.

MrsMarigold · 03/03/2014 15:48

Where do you live? My DS says "Arfur" accents can make it different. Wink

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/03/2014 15:48

Does Edward have a nn?

Edward and Barnaby would be v sweet, or Edward and Timothy. But I suspect you like more 'solid' and less 'cute' names. :)
