So I have about 9weeks to go till he arrives, and was just wondering what you all thought of the name Arthur?

Is it too oldschool? We're not really "in" to any modern names and definatley don't want something that can be referenced back to twilight or the such.

We wanted a normal but not popular name. Do you think Arthur fits the brief?

The other option we have is Luther if we think he dosnt look like a Arthur.

Arthur Fowler.... Pauline Fowler's husband in Eastenders when I was a child. She hit him over the head with a frying pan when he had it away with the lady from the allotment Grin am I the only one who remembers this?

Here's the cat.... apologies for the link. I'm on my phone.

I'm not keen on it personally tbh. But there's nothing whatsoever wrong with the name.

I dislike Arthur.

But I think Luther is really cool.

I am obviously in the minority as I like Luther a lot.

Also like Arthur with nn Artie or Art

The last 4 babies born on my FB feed are Arthurs. Plus, 2 born in our road this year. It's so very popular ATM, no way will it be dismissed as old school. Is v now.

Oh God! Miss Thicky in Thicky Land on a very thicj day.

I'm so sorry OP, I was getting Luther and Lucifer confused above. I blame the amazing non-sleeping 2 year old. In which case. I actually prefer Luther to Arthur. As others have said, Arthur is very popular.

Haha it's ok, I found my car keys in the fridge again earlier and then found a pint of milk I had just bought in my underwear draw....don't ask me what I was thinking.
