Arthur is a strong, powerful name that conjures up images of that mystical time of Camelot and the knights of the Round Table. It's an awesome name.Arthur, Emily and Julia is a great sib-set.

I love Arthur! It's been in my top fivie for ages. I don't think it's too old fashioned. I find it very strong and masculine. Arthur, Emily and Julia make a very nice sibset.

Awesome!I adore this name. Right now, I'm prefering it as a MN, but it's giving my other favorite names a run for their money yet again.I don't think it's too old-fashioned. I mean, it *is* and "older" name, I suppose, but IMNSHO, I think that adds to its charm. I love "older" names. (Not to mention it also reminds me of King Arthur, so it also brings to mind noble and chivalrous connotations.)I think Arthur, Emily, and Julia all go very well together. Emily and Julia are considerably more popular than Arthur right now (at least, here in the States), but I still consider them all "classics." :o)

I love Arthur! I think of King Arthur (fair, noble, just, etc.), Arthur Wealey (form Harry Potter! Noble, fair, good-hearted) and my friend's brother (nn Artie, he's hilarious!).So yes, I think it's an awesome first name! I love it!I like it with Emily (Prefer Emma or Emmy) and Julia (But I'm biased :-P).

Arthur is a name that I can't get into. I've known some very nice guys name Art, but I don't like that NN, which it would be invariably shortened to at some point or another. The sibset is nice, if a little bland.
