Disclaimer: I’m not expecting… just a name lover!
I’m a huge fan of ‘[name]Doc[/name]’ [name]Watson[/name]. For those that don’t know, he is a bluegrass and blues singer and awesome guitar picker who passed away this past week. 
Anyway, I got to thinking about his given name, Arthel. I can’t find anything about this name and was wondering if anybody had any information about it. Also, what is your general opinion of this name?
I haven’t heard of this singer, but [name]Doc[/name] [name]Watson[/name] reminds me of [name]Sherlock[/name] [name]Holmes[/name] 
Anyway… from what I’ve read, Arthel is a variation of [name]Arthur[/name], just like [name]Danilo[/name] is a variation of [name]Daniel[/name], so I assume it has the same meaning. I much prefer [name]Arthur[/name] though. Arthel kind of sounds like a witch name 
Oh, how sad. I didn’t know he had died. Hubs and I listen to him on [name]Sunday[/name] mornings sometimes. I’m not fond of Arthel though I think [name]Watson[/name] could work as a tribute name in the middle spot.
I love [name]Doc[/name] [name]Watson[/name]. Good memories…
I don’t love his first name, though. I’ve got to be honest. I sounds like a smoosh of [name]Arthur[/name] and [name]Ethel[/name]. I do love his surname, though… It would be a dashing middle.
Thanks for the replies! It is quite sad for the bluegrass world… first [name]Earl[/name] Scruggs, now [name]Doc[/name] [name]Watson[/name]. But their music lives on! 
Oh my, a witch name! Seems that the general opinion of Arthel is not good. [name]Watson[/name] isn’t really my style either… but maybe I can work in his middle name, [name]Lane[/name]. It’s more my pace. Thanks again for responding!
I’m a fan of his as well but I’m not sure how well his fn would go over.
