Hi all, my husband and I can’t decide between Arthur or James! We love the middle name Aaron and it’s in the family, so thinking Arthur Aaron or James Aaron? Didn’t want to go with Arthur James incase we have another boy and use up the names we like (we have looked through and discussed so many!). What are your thoughts please, Arthur or James?

I would pick James as I feel like it’s more timeless.

Though Arthur seems more upmarket to me...

Depends what you’re looking for

Thanks everyone! Seems most like James Aaron as it’s more timeless. My DH and I keep coming back to James, will probably end up going for our original choice of James Aaron and our surname (his initials would be JAW hehe). Thank you!

Our son is 2.5 and called Arthur and we adore the name and him. It really suits him. X

Much prefer Arthur, James is boring. I don't like Aaron either.

EllaWallace · 15/02/2020 23:07

Both great names, personally I'd go Arthur. But I don't love the double A of Arthur Aaron... sorry! Are there any other middle names you'd like to use?

KittieKath · 16/02/2020 20:34

I love James, but my DF is James so I am biased!! :-)
