What do you think of the name

Arlo Arthur James Livingstone

Or

Arlo Mathew James Livingstone

Does it flow? Do you like it?

Thank you Smile

I really love the name Arlo and would stick with that,
but if you want some other suggestions how about:

Kit
Wilfred
Barnaby
Rafferty Raffy
Sidney Sid
Eli
Ellis
Caleb
Seth
Chester
Casper
Dexter
Otis
Eric
Blake
Otto

Flynn is a great choice or how about Quinn? Having Fin as his uncle is fine, not too similar imo.

Ezra James Mathew Smile

@Whatsyourflava thank you! I can't believe it's so difficult to find a name! OH likes Flynn and doesn't think it's too similar - it's me panicking that they sound the same, particularly when my OHs parents call Finley, Fin most of the time!

Thank you for all of your suggestions.

My favourite name hasn't received such positive feedback on here, but I still love it and OH likes it too so it's still in the running, along with Flynn, Arlo and Ezra!

It's so stressful!! Confused

Isn’t Arthur James a singer or is it the other way around? Definitely recognise that name. I think Arlo Arthur is a mouthful but I don’t particularly like Matthew. I’d just use Arlo James personally.

Arlo Mathew James sounds good. Arlo Livingstone sounds better than Flynn Livingstone.

Bezalelle · 27/02/2020 08:01

Cut the Arlo and call him Matthew James.

Arlo will date horribly to the precise juncture of 2018-2020.

MikeUniformMike · 27/02/2020 08:27

Not RTFT.
I don't like Arlo. It will date badly.
Matthew has 2 Ts.

Kian - dislike
Ezra - dislike
Jude - dislike
Sonny - it's a nn
Isaac - ok
Flynn - ok-ish

Matthew James Livingstone is lovely.

CLivvy · 27/02/2020 08:30

@MikeUniformMike thank you for your opinions - however Mathew will be spelt with 1 T after my Dad, that's how his name is spelt Smile

OK, I do know a Mathew and a gorgeous Mat.

If you like Arlo, use it. Don't stress over it. Lots of people like it.

What’s your favourite name @CLivvy?

CLivvy · 27/02/2020 12:13

We're now edging more towards Arthur Mathew James - but I do worry how popular Arthur is (think it was 7th most popular in the UK last year) would that put you off? Should I worry?

Lovely strong name. Classic but not boring.
