Critique my top boy names
alohamora

in Baby Names
I'm hoping to start TTC some time soon and figured I'd get some critiques of my actual name list. We have a girl name (Cecilia June), but these are the boy names DH is okay with:
Arthur - nn maybe Artie or Art, but I like the full name quite a bit
Linus
Edward - DH's mn, nn could be Ned
MN will most likely be Everett, after my dad. LN is one syllable starting with a hard "C" sound. I realize these names aren't a lot of people's styles; that's okay. I'm just looking for any feedback. Thanks!

I haven't heard Arthur in awhile - that get's my vote!
Then Edwards, then Linus.
Arthur - NMS It makes me think of that one cartoon... Love Art however.
Linus - It's been growing on me, It has potential.
Edward - I'm all aboard the "old school name" train, but I really dislike this name.
Linus > Arthur> Edward
Feffy, I just have to add that the Lucy snow gif gets me everytime. It's been snowing here for a straight month and I know I make that exact face when I wake up and look outside.
Edward - Love this name and wish I could convince my husband of it's awesomeness
Arthur- Another great name and my second choice of your three.
Linus- I'm personally not a fan of Linus
I think Arthur Everett sounds really nice. Plus I think the nn Artie is cute!
Edward is second (not really digging the nn Ned), then Linus. I can't quite get passed the cartoon to really really like Linus.
I like them all!
I love Arthur. So cute.
I'm a huge fan of Edward, but I don't like Ned.
Linus is such a "cool guy" name. Love it!
I love them all!
1. Linus - Such a great name. It takes guts to use this name and I think it would pay off. There's a Bumpie with triplets and one is named Linus.
I think I prefer this one over the other names.
2. Edward - Great name. I actually prefer Edwin, but as Edward has special meaning, I would stick with it.
3. Arthur - I love this name. I dislike Art, unfortunately. It's the possible nickname that drops this name to 3rd place for me.

I don't like any of them
I couldn't imagine calling a baby Arthur, Linus, Edward and especially NED (omg).
Arthur reminds me of the children's cartoon. I think he's an anteater or something.
Linus:
Edward is okay but boring. And nn of Ned screams old perverted man.
On the other hand your mn of Everett is nice and would make a better first name.
Edward then Linus then Arthur
I love the NN Ned! I also like how Edward Everett sounds together.
Arthur is underused and a great name. All three are good!
*sigh of appreciation towards your list*
Arthur- The rich history of this name makes it a great choice. Arthur sounds like a masculine, courteous and wise fellow. Arthur Everett is my favorite combo of the three choices, too!
Linus- I have a hard time picturing this on anything but a little boy (which probably has something to do with Peanuts, eventhough I am trying to get past that reference). But the good news is the middle name Everett would really make it more... manly (for lack of a better word).
Edward- Edward is a strong, regal name, and a classic that will never go out of style. Edward Everett is my least favorite combo, but it's not bad by any means.
I vote for Arthur Everett
Arthur is my favourite out of the three, I think it's wonderful! I like Linus a lot as well. Edward is fine, but my favourite boy name of all-time is Edmund so, for me, Edward falls short. Everett is fantastic, by the way, and so is Cecilia June!
Haha, thanks! I'll take that as a compliment.
