Hi everyone!
I'm expecting a baby boy in July and I have my heart set on the name Arthur. However I'm struggling on finding a middle name for him- I want to keep the middle name vintage themed like his name. I did think of 'Arthur Vincent' and 'Arthur Ernest' but not 100% on it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! <3

Thank you x

How many syllables in your surname?

I like the sound of Arthur Joe.

I'm a teacher and we are DELUGED with Arthurs, it's the most popular name for boys by far. Perhaps Ernest Arthur would work better?

I'd avoid James, as it's very popular as a middle name, and he could end up being one of many with the same full name.

How about a family name?

I agree that Arthur has become very fashionable - there are loads! Personally I would choose a less popular name.

Thank you, I appreciate that. A lot of people say it's too common but I've had my heart set on the name Arthur for my baby boy since I was a little girl! I love 'Arthur Laurence' i'll add that to my list- thank you so much!
