Arthur or Henry

[Claryrocks]

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!

Ted for Edward.

Sonly - I was asking if her ds had a particular nn. Eg if he's Teddy, then Teddy and Barnaby is lovely but deffo cutesy! If he's Ed, then different names might 'go' better. I love Ted/Teddy for Edward, but others don't.

Oh ok sorry.

No need to say sorry.

I've taught in London and Arthur becomes Afur very quickly in the playground.

I really like both (very regal names), but prefer Henry personally. In fact I was desperate to call DS2 Henry, but exP wouldn't allow it . I would agree that Arthur could become 'Arfur' easily round my way.

Edwin
Alfred

Henry.

Teddy and Henners.

I'm in Sarf Laaandan and Arthur sounds like Arfur (having said that's it's 'Enry too)

Only 'downside' I can think of is Henry and Edward are both Henry Hoover names?

Arthur is a great name.

I love both. I have a friend with a little Henry Arthur

Arthur.

Henry's perfectly ok, but Arthur is great.

I love Arthur!

One of my school friends is called Arthur, he never got any grief about it.

Edward is a ted/teddy and we're in Yorkshire.

I realise some people may know people who got teased with the name Arthur when they were at school but names change. Ted's friends include, wilf, Freddie, Henry and Stanley so I don't think Arthur will be too unusual!

This is really helpful, thanks!

I have 2 nephews... Arthur and Henry!
Lovely names!!!! Couldn't possibly choose between them!

Henry. I love it. Edward is lovely as well, good taste :)

I love Arthur and would of had it for my son if it wasnt for a comment I got when discussing names with some friends...(quote)
'You can't call him arthur as he will get called arty farty at school'

I like Henry but u will also get ppl calling him Harry.
