Arthur

I don't really care for the sound of it, but I can see it on a little boy. It grew on me some when I actually met a boy named Arthur about a year ago. I like how it's not overused, and it's a familiar name, so there wouldn't be many spelling and pronunciations issues.
Arthur Samuel and Arthur Samuel Jude are both nice combos. How about Arthur Jude?

The youngest Arthur I know is in his 20s, so he was a little boy not so long ago! I like it too, and there's no reason to avoid it.
Arthur totally works on a baby. I think it's delightful on any age, but there's something especially adorable about a young Arthur. Maybe it's the name's serious, sturdy vibe, I'm not sure. Even if Arthur seems "too grownup" at first, there's always Art, Artie, Archie, and other nicknames.
I love Arthur Samuel. Very handsome.

I really like Arthur. It's very underused, and quite dignified. I think Artie is kind of cute as a nickname, but I don't like Art.
I like it a lot. I didn't think it would work on a kid, but I met a baby called Arthur a few years ago and I actually found it a really cute name. It's on the rise here in the UK, and it's number 82 at the moment. I really dislike nicknames like Art and Artie though (doesn't make sense to me - Arthur doesn't begin with the sound "art", it's "arth")
Arthur Samuel Jude is a great combo too!

Arthur is one of my favorite names, though I fear that its popularity will skyrocket.
Knew one growing up who was a few years younger than me. He went by Thor, which I thought was a pretty clever NN for what I considered at the time (90s) to be a dated name. His was after his grandfather.
If I had to choose another name for myself, Arthur would probably be it. I love it very much.
I love it
It goes well with Samuel as mn. Why can't you see it on a little boy? Little boys grow up anyway...
