Arthur, Joseph or Billy/William.

[BeautifulStars93]

surname is Smith so we dont want the name too sound too 'gypsy'
we have an Isabelle and Eliza already.
which do you prefer of the 3?

Smith sounds Gypsy???
What does "gypsy" sound like?
Anyway, for those 3 definitely Arthur.

I trip over Josephs and Williams everywhere round here at the moment.

I like William nn Billy the best of the three. Arthur is very popular at the moment, and Joseph Smith makes me think of the guy who founded the Mormon religion.

I'm going to be useless and say I really like them all.. Also love your dd's names.

They are all good!

My favourite is Joseph, but maybe it does run in to Smith a bit.

Arthur is great.

Oh, and I have no idea what up mean my gypsy!

Still struggling to get past "too gypsy".

Arthur smith. Gorgeous!

Too gypsy? Whatever do you mean, OP?

Joseph Smith. Isn't that connected to the Mormon religion (somebody will know). Hardly matters anyway, it's not an uncommon combination. Joseph is my favourite name for boys.

I think the OP may know some travellers .... Where I work we have a fair few travellers and many are called Billy ... But not smith. Also Johnny, miles and Patrick - but most people would not associate these names with gypsys I don't think - we have non traveller kids of the same name.

What's wrong with sounding like travellers?

Nothing Reuset, a name is a name ....

I have a William. I tried to shorten it to Bill as that was my grandad's name, but he hated it and now, aged 12, insists on being called Will.
I don't really like Will as it reminds me of "Wiiillll" from Chris Evans, but it's his choice now really.
Think carefully about what he might shorten it to.

They are all lovely but Billy is gorgeous

nothing wrong with gypsy I just cant think of a better way of wording what I meant.
Smith is a very common last name so I want a first name that isn't overlt popular so he/she isnt just another 'lily smith'

Harriet ..
Will is the one thing that puts us off. x

Also near me there is a very big not so pleasent family with the surname Smith who tend too use the popular names

Arthur Joseph Smith. Done.

he would be Arthur Charles James Smith as all middle names are family names ans my children have two

So 'gypsy' means popular? Never heard of that before.

why does everyone on this site take everything too heart and try amd start a debate.
I mean chavvy/gypsy as Smith is a very common surname and I dont want my children too have common names.

No debate intended We were confused as to what you meant by not wanting the name to sound too 'gypsy'

I'm still confused actually Gypsy means chavvy and/or common? Who knew!
