I think this name has climbed to my top three. When I posted my classics list, I think it was the least popular out of the male names, but it has all of the things I like about a name, but what I find most alluring is the slight period of disfavor, while not being forgotten totally, or tossed into the abyss. It's like not planting a field for a year so it can gather its nutrients.
I'm really fond of it--but I would NOT consider Artie or Art as nicknames--only the formal.
Arthur Andrew
Arthur Benjamin
Arthur Daniel
Arthur Henry
Arthur James
Arthur Louis
Arthur Samuel -- top choice
