Middle names for Arthur

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

Arthur Philip plus surname
Arthur Leon James
Arthur Benedict James
Arthur Thomas James

A nice and classic name combination which will see him through all stages of his life.

Edited to delete James as it'll be his surname

Arthur Wilfred
Arthur Henry
Arthur Thomas

Or put your names together - Arthur Ernest Vincent.

Arthur Caleb James
Arthur Jeremiah James
Arthur Edward James
Arthur Angus James

or maybe pick a family name, it’s quite nice to be named after an historic relative

In my family the boys have their father's name as a middle name. My brother's name is Daniel so my nephew's name is Arthur Daniel.

I didn't even think of that! Personally I don't see it to be a problem as the singer isn't called Arthur J

Can you stop spreading negativity? it's unnecessary and unkind.

Wow, you guys have gave me some great recommendations. James sounds nice but the thing is James will be his surname!

I actually think Arthur James James would be rather good! Don't rule it out!

An old friend with a double barrel name is called the equivalent of Arthur James-Arthur. I've always thought it was a great name. I think Arthur James James even better.

(But I do like Arthur Edward, also, obviously).
