Arthur vs Arlo?

DH and I are down to 2 first and 2 middle names for a boy. I am torn between first names but I love Theodore as a middle name. DH loves Faraday after the scientist Michael Faraday who he has a fascination with. It's a little out there for me and I am not a fan of surnames, but I told him I would think about it since it's a middle name. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Big brothers are Har.lan Ja.mes & Sil.as Raf.ael. Thanks!!

Re: Arthur vs Arlo?

  • I vote for Arthur Theodore. Went to school with a kid named Arlo. He threatened me with a knife once. The name brings horrible memories.

  • I'm really not big on either Arthur or Arlo, but I guess Arlo would get the edge. Arthur has always been a very homely-sounding name to me.

    I think Arlo has the same feel as your other kids' names, but I also think Harlan and Arlo are kind of close for me, so I'm not sure. Voted for Arlo Theodore though

    Edited for clarity

  • Arthur got my vote but it is my brother's name, my uncle's name and my grandfather's name so I am biased.

  • This was all incredibly helpful feedback. I read all the replies to my husband also. Thank you ladies so much for taking the time to respond! I'm still a little torn between Arthur and Arlo and am surprised they ended up being so close in the poll! I think DH is coming around a little to Theodore for the middle name though. ;) Thanks again!!
