Naming a baby girl after Arthur

scarnochan

Hello...this is my fist post, but 3rd child. We would like to name our third after a relative named Arthur. We already have a Harriet (Hattie) and Freya. We're having a hard time coming up with girls names that start with "Art" that aren't Artemis (we already have a goddess) and Aretha (which makes me want to burst into song, but...not loving it for baby).

Thought I might ask a bunch of strangers for some suggestions ;) Thanks!

Seems like you could go a few different ways.

-Lovely names that start with "Art" besides Artemis 

Artheia

Artina

Artha

Arthelia

-Names with "Art" in them so the namesake/nickname could apply

Hartley

Hartlyn

Marta

-Names inspired by literal famous works of Art so the namesake/nickname could apply

Mona (Mona Lisa by DaVinci)

Iris (Irises by Van Gogh)

Eve (Creation of Eve by Michelangelo)

Dawn (Dawn by Breton)

Pearl (Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer)

Use it as a middle name, then you don't need a far fetched tribute.

Lillian Arthur
Celeste Arthur
Jillian Arthur

Maybe think of Ar- names? Like Arlene or something? That may give you more options!

What about Arti? The “y” sound makes it more feminine and dripping the e (Artie) modernizes it a bit a la Stormi Webster. Arty could also work but looks a lot like artsy. 

Here’s a wild card - Ruth (it’s almost arTHUR backwards!)

mARTHa - again, uses mostly letters from Arthur.
