We recently found out that we are having our second son, a brother for George. Currently stuck between names: Arthur or Albert. We like the potential for Albie or Bertie as nn for Albert although don’t really love the name Albert itself and like Arthur with with Artie as a nn.
Middle name we have 3 combinations (due to family names etc) and can’t decide.
1._______ Thomas Charles
2._______ Joseph George
3._______ Joseph Thomas

Which full name combination would you choose?? Arthur or Albert and middle names 1,2 or 3?
Thanks!

Don’t pick Albert if you don’t love it just because you like the nicknames.

I’d go with Arthur Joseph Thomas.

Arthur Joseph Thomas.

Don't like Albie or (especially) Bertie. The little premature baby on coronation street is called Bertie and the way the girl says it is like nails on a chalk board.

Arthur Joseph Thomas

I like Arthur Joseph Thomas too

That’s the one I think deep down I was hoping to sound best as it will be my brother (his uncle) and his dads names as middle names. Thanks for your help!

I like Arthur Thomas Charles. But any middle name combination is fine. I prefer Arthur to Albert.

Artie over Bertie for sure. I do love Albie but there are suddenly loads of them!
I wouldn't use George as middle name when you already have a George.

Joseph and Thomas are two of my very favourite names anyway :)

Arthur Thomas Charles or Arthur Joseph Thomas.

Arthur Thomas Joseph - I think the flow is better this way round
