Which do you prefer...?

[HaNNaHC92]

I'm due my 3rd baby in just over 2 weeks. We've kept the sex of this baby a surprise this time round. Girls name we've already decided on, but boys we're struggling with. We've narrowed it down to two but can't decide which one is a nicer name and goes better with our other two children's name (Noah George and Grace Olivia). The two names we've chosen are - Oliver Benjamin or Arthur William. Any thoughts on which you prefer or that you think go better with our children. TIA.

Love the name Oliver. Not so keen on Arthur.

Arthur Benjamin

They are both v nice

I think Oliver goes slightly better with your children's names

I like Oliver

Arthur

Noah, Grace and Oliver.

Middle names are never mentioned after the birth announcement so I never take them into account.

Arthur William

I think Oliver sits better with the vibe of your other children's names but Arthur is much cooler as a name.

Arthur William

Arthur William by miles and miles

I like it because I just think it's a much nicer sound. I prefer Arthur to Oliver and I prefer William to Benjamin. I think Arthur William sound much better together than Oliver Benjamin. So all in all an easy choice for me!

We must have similar taste as your current children's names were on my shortlist /used.
I like both names I think Oliver goes slightly better with your dcs names.
I'd be intrigued to know what your girls name is.

Arthur

I think Arthur William goes better because of the otherwise duplication of Oliver vs Olivia. But I prefer Benjamin to Oliver, Arthur and William!

Oliver fits much better with Noah and and Grace for me. Arthur, although popular now, is more retro/old fashioned feeling than your other childrens names imo. I don't think the middle names matter much as most people won't know your daughters middle name is Olivia.

I think you should go for William Oliver.

Arthur is lovely. Lots of Olivers

Benjamin gets my vote.

Oliver gels better with your other choices, in my opinion. Classic and popular without being too 'now', if you see what I mean.

Noah, Grace & Oliver

Although your middles Benjamin and William would work too 😁.

I wouldn't go with Oliver if your DD's middle name is Olivia.

favourite is oliver

I don't like either.

Luca Benjamin
Rufus William
Elijah Daniel

Oliver Benjamin - I prefer it and it goes better with your children’s names.

Wow op they are both great! I think Oliver goes slightly better with your other children’s names. Why don’t you just wait and see what feels right when baby is born.

Am I allowed to ask your chosen girl name? I’m also due my 3rd in 2 weeks (a girl) and we obviously have similar taste!

I think we'll go with Oliver. It's the one I prefer out of the two as well. Dad prefers Arthur, haha. But no definite until we see what baby is and if the name suits. Our chosen girls name is Charlotte. It'll either be Charlotte Emilia or Charlotte Victoria (my middle is Victoria and Dad prefers this one) x
