Have whittled it down to three names but still can't decide, which do you prefer? Thank you

All ok but not a fan of traditional names . Probably Arthur if I had to choose.

DramaAlpaca · 03/12/2022 23:45

Edward or Arthur. I've never been keen on George.

Luredbyapomegranate · 04/12/2022 01:37

Not Arthur still sounds like a 100 year old man

Ifiwasabird · 04/12/2022 01:40

My 3 month old is Arthur ☺️ so obviously I'd say that.

Milly717 · 04/12/2022 02:00

Edward

Purplemagnolias · 04/12/2022 09:01

All are equally overused and trendy.

Pictograph · 04/12/2022 09:03

Edward is my favourite

urbanbuddha · 04/12/2022 09:04

Arthur, or Edward with Ned for a nn.

MassiveSalad22 · 04/12/2022 09:04

George to me is a friendly name to suit every age.

Edward and Arthur seem stuck up to me (and Arthur is my son’s middle name 😄)

All very very very popular around here.

Edward - as many nicknames he could choose from too - Ed, Eddie, Ned

Purplemagnolias · 04/12/2022 09:09

Edward - as many nicknames he could choose from too - Ed, Eddie, Ned

It's Edward, not Nedward Confused

I like them all, but I think I like Arthur the best by a very small margin.

IvyDora · 04/12/2022 11:17

@Purplemagnolias haha Ned is a common nickname for Edward 🤣🤣 this response did make me laugh though!

Soproudoflionesses · 04/12/2022 11:18

Love Edward

NewToWoo · 04/12/2022 11:21

I love all of them, with a slight preference for Edward (not that I'm biased Xmas Grin)

CaptainCastillo · 04/12/2022 14:24

The only one I like out of these three Is Arthur. Its adorable!

Rauha · 04/12/2022 14:28

George

PeaceJoySleep · 04/12/2022 14:29

George or Edward.
Arthur is awful. I like dated names but this is just so ugly.

toastofthetown · 04/12/2022 18:54

They're all very popular and safe names. It doesn't really matter which one you pick as they are all largely interchangeable, with the caveat that George and Edward are perennially popular, never having left the top hundred in England and Wales, whereas Arthur dropped out in the 1960s, and has exploded in popularity again recently so is more likely to date. You could always wait until he is born and see if you feel one suits him better,

Thruandthru1 · 04/12/2022 18:56

George or Edward

Cosycover · 04/12/2022 18:59

Arthur? Really?

OrangePomander · 04/12/2022 19:00

Edward or Arthur

Geranium1984 · 04/12/2022 19:17

I like all of them. We have an Edward so obviously I'd go with that. We have lots of possible nick names, Teddy, Ted, Eddie, Ed, Ned....
