Re: Arthur
I have a negative association with it because there was a boy in my kindergarten class named Arthur who was overweight, and you don't see that many overweight five-year-olds. At least, you didn't back then. I remember when we wore our costumes to school for Halloween and Arthur was a skeleton and when I told my father, he thought that was hilarious, a fat skeleton. So to me it's a fat boy name. I think Arthur's family must have moved because I don't remember him after kindergarten.

Frist, I do not want to attack you (you feel, what you feel and there is nothing wrong with it), it is just what came to my mind reading your comment:1. I am a bit shocked, that the overweight of a little boy is enough to make a negative association. I mean: Maybe overweight Arthur was a lovely person, does not that count? Do you remember how he was?
If every person who does not appeal me visually would ruin its name, I had no names left to use xD 2. A father laughing about a little boy and his costume sounds mean :S I hope the kids did not do the same when Arthur was around.
