The final three

[PandasMum]

Would love your honest opinions of our short shortlist:
Max
Arthur
Benjamin

Thank you

We have a lot of Max/ Maximilian’s where I live and Arthur’s too.... so it would be Benjamin for me

Little Max :)

Benjamin is the least trendy.

All great names! I think it kind of depends what kind of person you imagine you're little boy to be, if that makes sense?
Would you like quite a strong name? A name that makes you think of someone quite chilled?

We have two children already: James & Clara if that helps!

James, Clara and Ben

Benjamin/Ben a timeless classic 😍😍

Benjamin!

Sounds like Arthur is the one! Goes beautifully with James and Clara, too.

Personally, I love Max. Good luck!

James Clara and Arthur

Omg you have such lovely taste in names

I’ve always adored the name Arthur and think you should go for it - it’s a great classic name for a little boy to grow into a man. I love the potential nn Artie too - what do you think @PandasMum

Please pick Arthur 🥰

Arthur would be my favourite, but it has suddenly rocketed in popularity, so I'd choose Benjamin which goes well with your "sib set" names, and Ben is a fab nn.

I have a Max. So clearly that's my favourite! I don't think it's been 'done to death', we love his name and always get a nice reaction to it. It's neat, easy, international and suits a baby right through to an adult.
Congrats OP.

Benjamin is lovely.
Max is bland.
Arthur is dreadful.

@MissHenty Artie is cute I hadn’t thought of that as we don’t use nns with the other two

Max by far the nicest
Arthur- not my taste at all. Reminds me of the cartoon-sorry.
Benjamin- I think bunny

Max, not keen on Arthur and think Ben is a bit bland.

My vote is Benjamin but then my little boy is a Benjamin so slightly biased!

Sorry I really don't like Artie! Artie, Art -it all reminds me of Art Garfunkel - really depressing.

Ben, because it's the least common

Arthur. Ben and Max are so boring.

Benjamin and Max are my favourites. Arthur is OK but it’s having a moment, so will date obviously. But I think it goes best with your other DC names.

I like Ben and Aurthur but really don’t like Max

I love Ben, its such a good name for suiting every age.

And I haven't heard of any little ones called that recently.

It's my brother's name so not sure if I would use it or not (sometimes makes me like it more and sometimes think it might be strange!) but I love it

DS would be called Benjamin if DH had agreed! Like Arthur too.

Love all 3 OP. If I had to pick one I'd probably pick Benjamin. LOVE Clara btw! Good luck!
