We thought we would be having a girl, purely based on the fact we have a lot of girls on both sides of our family, spent a lot of time on girls names but scan has confirmed it's a boy and now we're struggling with names again.

We like Arthur but don't like Arty or Art. We also like Joseph and Peter but have two of each in the family already.

Quite like biblical names, nature names and traditional names.

Any suggestions appreciated, thank you.

My DF was Arthur and it really didn't get shortened. I'd asked him if it had as a child but he said no.

If Joseph is out, how about Josiah?

Call him Arthur, I don't think it usually gets shortened.

I think the perfect name is Laurence. It's rarely used, easily recognisable and the shortening of Laurie is absolutely gorgeous.

Laurence is actually the feminine version of Laurent. It's widely used for women, especially in France and Belgium.

How about
