Is Arthur an old man name?

[AncientandPregnant]

DH thinks it is. I don’t.

Also what other names might we like if we like Arthur?

It's incredibly popular at the moment so I would associate it more with very young children than with old men.

Very, very popular at the moment. But as part of the ‘old man’ name resurgence. See also: Stanley, Reggie, Ronnie etc
So it’s old man and young child really.

I would say yes but I think the majority would say no as it’s so popular.
I also think it’s become slightly chavvy in its overuse.

I agree that it's very popular at the moment, and I don't really know any older men called Arthur, so I think of it as a kids name.

Yes

Yes a very popular old mans name. Like Reginald or Ronald.

I know many babies called Arthur so it's definitely going to be associated with younger people soon!

My cousin's 4 year old is called Arthur.

Yes it's that style. Very popular now though

I wouldn’t say so, I think it’s lovely! Never went for it because how popular it is in my area. Lots of Arthur’s, Archie’s, Alfred’s here!
Names similar, a lot less popular/don’t know any with that name I suggest is..
Theodore
Edward
Oscar

Or if you want a ‘A’ name..
Arlo
Albie
Axel

Used to be. Now it's a toddler name

@sweetnosugar it’s interesting you don’t know any Theodores. There are so very many little Theos around here!

It's my 80 yr old FIL name, so yes

I know a young Arthur named after his Great Granded who is still alive. So both.

Theodore, Edward, Oscar, Oliver and Sebastians a plenty here in London!

No it's a young child's name. Very popular in under fives.

I don't think Arthur is an old man's name. I love Arthur as a boy's name. I have 2 girls but if i ever have a boy i would name him Arthur.

It would suit an old man or a boy or a teenager I think.

Why are people saying it's not an old man's name? It is both.

I know a few young Arthurs, is come around again.

Agree with others who say both!
