Arthur?

What do you guys think of Arthur?
It's been on my mind lately... To me, it kind of has the same feel as Oscar, which I love but would never use since it is so popular in Denmark now.

What would you imagine Arthur's siblings being named? (Scandinavian names or names that would work in Scandinavia would be highly appreciated :))

Mind you, I'm not planning on having children for another 9-10 years, so...

I love the name Arthur. It's such a strong sounding masculine name.

One of my great uncles is Arthur. The siblings in the family are- Ella, Alma, Robert Jr., Harold, Walter, Arthur, and Beatrice (my grandma). I can't imagine another sibset for the name, though.

I like it. It's old-fashioned but in a good way. I like it much better than Oscar (don't get why everyone likes Oscar so much).

Scandinavian names for sibling could include: Soren, Ingrid, Solveig.

I know an Arthur, he's half Japanese so his middle name is Reiji. He's a really sweet kid so the name grew on me really fast. He has an older brother named Vincent so to me those names go well together.
