Arthur

Arthur


-meaning: bear
-origin: Welsh
-potential nicknames: Artie, Art

Arthur can only make me think of one thing: King Arthur. How cool would that be to say you were named after a king? It is a bit of an old choice, but perhaps it will get a bit of a revival soon. Now, it sits in the mid 300s on the popularity charts in the US, with it being far more popular in the early 1900s.

  1. I like Arthur. But I don't like "Artie"...it makes me think of Shrek, lol. I think it's a superb middle name though!

  2. Yeah, me too. Artie is kinda blech. But I do love Arthur.
