I love Arthur, but also Theodore.
Peter I'm just okay with, notwithstanding High King over all Narnia. I like Harold and Edward too, for old school names. |

Well, you've got Theodore and Simon, why not add Alvin to the mix, too?
Actually, I have a preference. I'm a Theodore and have always loved my name; of course, it's a lot more popular now than when I was named, but it's still great being a Ted (or if you're into the hipster vibe, a Theo, also a good nickname). |
I like Simon a lot.
It's also not over used like Theodore. Peter is meh. |
Hehe. My Thoughts exactly. I even started humming the theme song. |
Can't stand Simon but love all the rest. Theodore is great but pretty trendy even though it's a classic. |
We almost named our son Arthur. I think Arty is a great name. |
Ted is more of a hipster name than Theo. Theo seems a bit dated now, whereas Ted is a grandpa name. |
Arthur or Peter are great |
I have a little Theodore, so I'm biased We call him Theo.
Theodore is surprisingly popular in DC, but far less so most everywhere else. |
Alvin,
Simon, Theo-DORE! Chipmunks |
I can relate, OP. Wanted to name my son (now six months) Simon, too, but DH nixed - maybe it's a guy thing? Haha.
Of those names, I like Theodore, Peter, and Arthur in that order (really don't like Arthur). Teddy or Theo, Pete - super cute nns for the first two, and totally respectable, solid names in long form. |
I like all three, actually! We used Arthur for my younger son's middle name. I wanted to use it as a first, but didn't want a nickname (Art, Artie, etc.)
All solid choices! |
I like Peter, then Theodore. Not a fan of Simon or Arthur. |
+1 Our second would have been Peter but we had a girl instead. |
