Middle name Thomas Arthur (not like that really matters) 😂

Really hoping for a boy because I cant find 1 girls name I like but out of the 2 above which is nicer? Thanks 😁

Quintella Ryan is quite a common first and surname here in Britain, being I guess of Irish origin.

Harrison is chosen often because parents like Harry (as do I) but consider Harold an 'old man' name.

check out this to see how many of these names would normally only be considered a surname in the UK I count about 7 out of 100!

'Ryan is quite a common first and surname here'

Rather my point. It's become a common first name, but it's originally a surname.

I like Theo. Curtis is ok

Arthur was a hero king and you can't really get more manly that that.

To me Koby reminds me of Kobe beef or Kobe earthquake, so no associations as a man's name at all.

All @Miljah 's posts are spot on. Thomas, Arthur and Theo are all fine names with no unfortunate connotations.

Koby could be a girl's name. In fact before this thread I'd have guessed it for a girl.

@AGoodWench Koby Bryant

So named after the beef allegedly!

I like Theo. Curtis is better than Koby.

Arthur is amazing and Thomas is nice too. Curtis and Koby are both a bit dated

How in heck is Curtis more dated than Arthur?? Arthur is a little old man, at least Curtis is only in his 40s
