I'd give it a 9, it's one of my favourites.

I don't like Arthur. My associations with it are a combination of King Arthur, old men, and Arthur the Aardvark. It sounds alternately a bit stodgy and a bit silly, and I hate how people sometimes pronounce it like "author." I guess I'd rate it about a 5. It doesn't go any lower because it's a classic name with a nice history and all, but it just doesn't appeal to me.

I could see Arthur with siblings with primarily very British names... Alasdair, Barnaby, Walter, Victor; Imogen, Charlotte, Georgia, Beatrice.

I give it an 8. Very handsome name.

---

I'd pair it with:
Theodore
George
Henry
Thomas
Felix
Jasper
Oscar
Oliver

---

Adelaide
Delphine
Emmeline
Catherine
Frances
Florence
Hazel
Lillian
Lucy
Jemima
Pearl
Alice

I heart Arthur. I would rate it a nine. Maybe a ten even. It is so romantic and old world and yet also bold and adventurous. A handsome name indeed.

---

If I used it in a set I might use:

---

Arthur and Isidora
Arthur and Georgiana
Arthur and Guy
Arthur and Will

I'd rate it an 8.5

---

It's my friend's name and another friend's middle name. I think I'd use it as a middle name if anything. It's a name I like simply because I like it, there's no huge reason or meaning behind it for me. (Yes my friends but they're not like best friends that changed my life or anything.

Arthur is so strongly English-rooted, it's kind of hard to give siblings that aren't also very English but I tried.

I would give it an 8. I really like it.

Arthur - 8

---

I went to high school with brothers named Arthur and Oliver and I think those two names go quite well together.

---

Others I would pair with Arthur:

---

Anna
Sophia
Louisa
Isadora
Josephine

---

Adam
Conrad
Joseph
Lawrence
Thomas
Paul

I'll give it a 6.

---

It's an all right name, but beyond the literary connection, it doesn't really "wow" me. I despise all the possible NN's.

Eleanor
Gwendolyn
Bronwyn
Briony
Elizabeth

Oliver
James
John
Stuart
