How popular is Arthur IRL?

[blondie87]

I know that Arthur has rocketed in popularity in recent years but in real terms, I’m interested to see how many people actually know. I’ve always really liked the name but thought we’d settled on Toby but now I’m seriously considering Arthur too.

@blondie87 do you mind me asking what you other children’s names are? I inboxed you Incase you didn’t want to say on here.

Arthur is NOT a faddy name IMO. Because it’s been high up in the charts many times over the past centuries etc. It’s not like names like Roman and Hunter and Grayson which are now in the top 100 for the first time ever (and therefore probably the last time ever!). They really will date and become “Darren” and “Keith”. Arthur will not. It sounds like a classic historical name with so much history ❤️

Woah three in one class!!

My Arthur is 12. I don’t recall it being popular when we chose it, not sure now

I actually haven’t met any. Not any any baby groups, two nurseries, pre-school etc.

I know 5 under 6.

My Arthur is 6. There is another one in his class and I have heard younger children around the place called Arthur. It seems to have sky rocketed in popularity over the last few years. I don’t mind, it’s a strong name

I'm a midwife and have seen so many Arthurs lately.

I know 4 under 5. (SE, and don't know LOADS of children).

In fact, I can't think of a more popular boy's name my acquaintance. (Teddy, maybe)

I know 4 Arthurs under 3 and 1 teen.

I know 4 arthurs 1 is 7, 2 6 and one is 3

West Midlands, I know 12 aged 9 & under.

I've got one primary aged, and know 6 more locally....

I don't know any with first name Arthur but I know 2 people who have had babies in the last 5 days and both have the middle name Arthur.

I know someone having A baby soon calling him...Arthur's sounds like it's going up in popularity lately, still lesss popular than a lot of other names though

I've nannied for two Arthur's, my fiend Nanny's an Arthur, a young family member is called Arthur, my boss's nephew is called Arthur....

I know a LOT. I adore the name though!

Thanks for all your input. It seems really popular but I guess there’s a reason. We really like it and I think it’s the one!

Thank you so much for updating us @blondie87
