of course. It's a great name.

I like Art/ie but I am a ponce.

notnowbernard · 23/09/2008 19:11

I'm not keen

But who cares?

WowOoo · 23/09/2008 19:13

Was on my list, but changed minds last minute and am glad now. Depends on your surname really..

JRocks · 23/09/2008 19:15

I like it, but probably wouldn't use it.

compo · 23/09/2008 19:16

yes, ds' best friend's brother is Arthur

2point4kids · 23/09/2008 19:17

Love it.
There is an Arthur at DS's nursery. Very cute, suits him.
I liked it for DS2 but DH said NO!

MuffinMclay · 23/09/2008 19:18

Love it. Would definitely have used it for my dcs except that it doesn't work with our surname.

ImNotOnline · 23/09/2008 19:21

Well i thought Dudley Moore was a bit wooden in it, but all in all not bad

I think it's a lovely name though.

AbbeyA · 23/09/2008 19:23

I don't like it.

norkmaiden · 23/09/2008 19:24

yes, I love it!

Indith · 23/09/2008 19:26

I love Arthur, was on my list for this one but it does funny things to our surname.

Yes, love it!!

purlease · 23/09/2008 20:09

Love it. If DD had been a DS, she would have been Arthur. Got mixed reactions from people when we told them this.

rebeccahill · 23/09/2008 20:10

Yes, I think it's a brilliant name, and it's hardly used at all. It was my first choice if I had had a son.

traceybath · 23/09/2008 20:11

My youngest DS is Arthur. Its a lovely name - traditional but not that many of them around at the moment.

It's my son's middle name although if I had another I may be tempted to use it as a first name BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT NAME!

I wanted to use it for my DS, I think it's lovely.

Szyslak · 28/09/2008 21:44

LOVE IT.

Wanted to use it, vetoed by DH, and 8 years later still wish we had.
