DH and I agreed that if we have a boy, the middle name will be Arthur for DH's grandpa. We're having a hard time picking a first name that sounds good. We like traditional or Biblical names. Jacob would be the favorite except DH's best friend is named Jake, which seems a little weird. Aaron might be the front runner but I don't know if I like the alliteration. Thoughts or suggestions? Last name starts with an "S".
Options: Aaron Arthur Elijah Arthur Luke Arthur Jacob Arthur

I like Aaron and Elijah! either one is nice, agree with PP that Lucas is nicer than Luke, Jacob just doesn't grab me (though it certainly isn't a bad name)
I generally don't like name alliteration, but I think Aaron Arthur sounds great! I don't love the flow of Elijah Arthur, because you have the "a" sound at the end of the FN and the beginning of the MN. They kind of blend together too much.
Re: MN Arthur. Help with FN?
Aaron Arthur doesn't bother me especially since using first middle name only is not really a thing.
