I think August as first name seems a bit out there compared to James. So I would go Arthur August Henry

Whatsyourflava · 15/05/2020 12:00

Both lovely. I prefer Arthur I think
Middle names are all nice but will rarely be used so I'd just pick a name you like incase your son chooses to use it as his main name

Peachbubble · 15/05/2020 12:34

I'd choose Arthur August Henry

YakkityYakYakYak · 15/05/2020 12:35

I think James and Arthur go really well together

CuppaZa · 15/05/2020 12:36

Arthur August Henry

GetTheSprinkles · 15/05/2020 12:37

Augustus?
August is odd and sounds feminine to me

Chocolatecake12 · 15/05/2020 12:38

It make me think of James Arthur the singer
I’d go for
Henry Arthur Jude
Or
Henry Jude August

Arthur August Henry

Vellum · 15/05/2020 12:39

I think I'd prefer Augustus, which is I really like.

userabcname · 15/05/2020 12:44

I love the name August! So I vote for August Henry Jude.

Livpool · 15/05/2020 12:49

Henry Arthur Jude?

I love Jude though - we chose it for my DS

Orphlids · 15/05/2020 13:04

I prefer August. Much more exciting than Arthur, which I’m afraid I find very dull. Although, as PPs have said, Augustus might be one to consider, if it appeals to you - that sounds more masculine and weighty. But August has a lovely gentleness, which Augustus doesn’t.

Quizeerascal · 15/05/2020 13:05

Arthur August Henry goes best with your DSs name I think

whatausername · 15/05/2020 14:06

August Henry Jude. Arthur's old hat by this point.

MikeUniformMike · 15/05/2020 15:34

Henry Arthur August

Arthur makes me think of Arthur Scargill.
August makes me think of Disgust, unless you are pronouncing it like the month. Augustus and Austin are nicer.

MintyMurray17 · 15/05/2020 15:56

August Henry Jude has the edge👌

MrsEricBana · 15/05/2020 15:59

August Henry Jude for me too. Absolutely love August.

Ughmaybenot · 15/05/2020 16:00

Arthur is much nicer than August, but I like Henry Jude so id vote for Arthur Henry Jude.

Spied · 15/05/2020 16:04

I like Jude.
I'd want to mix it up and prefer Jude August Henry.
Out of the two options though I'd go with August Henry Jude.

Mucklowe · 15/05/2020 16:26

Just Arthur Henry.

August is awful, and more than one middle name is pretentious.

emmathedilemma · 15/05/2020 16:30

Arthur Henry Jude
August is awful and doesn't flow with Arthur

Emmas85 · 15/05/2020 16:35

Jude August Henry. Love the name Jude.

FizzyGreenWater · 15/05/2020 16:49

Be careful about always thinking of it as the full name. In 99% of situations it will be a case of Arthur, or August. Most people won't even know someone else's middle name.

In this case, 100% Arthur. August does sound good in the middle of a full name, but as just a first name? No. And with James? No!

MikeUniformMike · 15/05/2020 16:55

I agree. Very few people use the full name.
It is usually Firstname Lastname. Even if double-barrelled the first of the two surnames is often dropped.

Cherrytangfastic · 15/05/2020 17:28

August Henry Jude.

Three of the five names on our name list, good choices! Grin
