[Opinions] Re: Arthur
I like Arthur and it is getting more popular, but I don't love it. I think the nn Artie puts me off, but then I know an Arthur nn Archie (he's 1) and I love Archie but still don't love Arthur. My great-grandaddy was Reginald Arthur which I think is nice

My great-grandad was Reginald, and my great-great-Grandad was Arthur. It's strange, because I still consider Reginald to be old fashioned but Arthur is not to me!I also dislike Artie. It doesn't make sense, because Arthur has the soft "th" in it, not a hard T like in "art". Archie doesn't really make sense either, but I definitely prefer it.My Arthur would just be Arthur, no nickname.

I see Reginald as less old fashioned lol probably because of the nn Reggie and that makes me think of Reggie Yates
