between two choices

We're naming baby #3, and have it down to two top combos that we just can't seem to decide between. Not going to leave the decision in the hands of anyone else but I'm still interested to hear what people think.

Arthur David
Orion Felix

going in quite different directions as you can see but our first two kids are fairly disparate in style already

Orion! Ugh, such a handsome/cool name. Arthur is also very nice, but Orion just has a fun edge.

Hard to decide without knowing the sibling names. If they were, hmm, Henry and Anne, then I'd definitely suggest Arthur. If they were, say, Caspian and Athena, I'd definitely suggest Orion. Depends on the surname too. Would you feel comfortable sharing what your other children are called?

Orion Felix. Arthur David is lovely and classic, but Orion Felix is more interesting to me, though still not way too out there. I also like the connections Orion has with astronomy.

Arthur David is a classic choice and Orion Felix feels more modern.

I think Orion Felix has a better flow with the 3-2 syllable count.

Orion Felix gets my vote!

I'd like Orion David even more.
I just don't love Arthur, it seems stuffy and glum to me - although if he is called Art and not Arthur, it's alright.
Orion seems friendlier and brighter to me than Arthur.

Either Arthur David or David Arthur. Orion Felix sounds like a distant planet.

Arthur David.
I don’t like the sound of Orion Felix. But my favorite combination would be Arthur Felix (or Felix Arthur)

Ditto, I wish it was Arthur Felix.

Orion Felix is more interesting, and it's a good name!

Arthur David, but I'd prefer David or Felix as a fn

I like both combinations, but I have to say, I love the classiness of Arthur David. Arthur David sounds strong, yet gentle, and is a "no-nonsense name" in my opinion. My vote has to go for Arthur David!

I like Orion Felix better, but both are great.
