Thoughts on Arthur?

[Improvising]

I really like Arthur.
Thoughts on the name in general and any nicknames would be appreciated:)

Cute! NN Artie

I know an Arthur-Jorge nn AJ

I think Arthur's cute, I'm not sure i'd nn it though but Artie sounds like a nn and is still cute.

Love it, there are a lot of them though

Art I guess

It's great but ridiculously popular.

NN Arthy, Art...

Oh is it popular? I don't know anyone at all with the name!

It’s nice but so popular. I imagine it will
date as it falls back down in popularity.

Nice name but there are SO many - every second male baby I know is an Arthur - the rest are Teddy or Bertie

Nice enough but very popular. Artie would be the natural shortening but I don't like it as much as Arthur - it has a very different vibe (a "cheeky rascal" name like Sonny or Alfie).

There's nothing wrong with it but it is very popular so you'd have to decide whether that bothers you or not. I know two baby Arthurs: one is just Arthur and one is known as Art.

There were 3766 born in England and Wales alone last year.

I have one so I'm biased but it's a great name, great nicknames too

it's become super duper popular in the past few years. If you don't currently know many young kids it might sound very fresh to your ears, but small Arthurs are everywhere.

Absolutely lovely name!

I guess Art is the obvious nickname but you can just wait and see what happens naturally. I had no idea I'd be calling DD2 Lolo till I just started doing it!

Lovely name. It was the tenth most popular boys’ name in the UK this year.

I know a few little Arthurs- nn Art, Artie, Arts.

It's a lovely name. If you like it then use it. Popularity varies from region to region so it doesn't really matter.

I like it a lot but I hear it has become very popular recently.

For me personally I wouldn't because people would say it wrong 🤣 you'd be hearing Aarfu, Arfa. Thus would really annoy me! Lol

I love it. My uncle was named Arthur. It will become much more common though like all the lovely names from the 20s and 30s

I have an 8 year old Arthur. It was quite unusual when he was born but has soared in popularity since. I know of at least 6 Arthur’s under 5.
We don’t shorten his name as I’m not keen on Art or Artie.
I still love his name.

I'm furious it's so popular. I have a teenage one and everyone thought it was very 'unusual' when he was born.

Not that I mind really, it's a beautiful name and really suits him. He is sensible and wise.

It never EVER gets shortened.

Nice but not if you live
In the SE

Arr-furr

When he was little we used to sing Arrfer Sixpence to him.

Because we're hilarious.

Very popular, know loads

The ONS name stats for this year aren't released until September 2023. All we know at the moment is that last year it was fourth in the rankings.

Very popular around by me. I know lots of them.

I know 'old man' names have comeback into fashion, and I like some of them, but Arthur ssounds fusty to me.
