Arthur or Asher?

Finding it hard to decide, [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] may not suit a teenager/ young adult? What’s your opinion? [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] or [name_u]Asher[/name_u] and why?
Thank you in advance! Middle name suggestions are also welcome! :slightly_smiling_face:

Certainly Arthur! It’s classic, it absolutely fits all ages to me, and it’s very charming. A great name.

[name_u]Asher[/name_u] does feel more modern and it’s sweet but cool with a lovely meaning. I guess it comes down to what vibe you want!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Well, I don’t know! I really quite like them both.

Here are some pros & cons-

[name_u]Arthur[/name_u] Pros:

-old fashioned

-charming

-easy to say & spell

-not super popular

[name_u]Arthur[/name_u] Cons:

-I don’t like Art(ie). But this may be a pro for you if you like it.

Well, that’s it! I see what you mean about how it feels okay for a little fella or an old man, but odd for a teen. I think that maybe if you had a teen son named [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] it’d feel fine.

[name_u]Asher[/name_u] Pros:

-cool fresh vibe

-old Biblical name, but not old sounding

-easy to say & spell

-cool nn of [name_u]Ash[/name_u]

[name_u]Asher[/name_u] Cons:

-a bit popular

-sounds kind of like as*. But not really!

I do slightly prefer [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], I think. But you can’t go wrong w/either. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] my rambling helps. :slight_smile:

[name_u]Asher[/name_u] sounds more modern to me. Could use [name_m]Art[/name_m] for short for [name_u]Arthur[/name_u]. I had an uncle named [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] but everyone called him [name_m]Art[/name_m].

I love both, but have an extra soft spot for [name_u]Asher[/name_u], especially because of the nickname [name_u]Ash[/name_u] (I’m not a huge fan of any of the nicknames for [name_u]Arthur[/name_u], myself).

I prefer [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] because it feels like a classic/ vintage name (which is my style), while [name_u]Asher[/name_u] feels like a modern name. Both are good options however :slight_smile:

I love [name_u]Asher[/name_u]. There’s nothing wrong with [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] (I think the arth sound just doesn’t appeal to me), but [name_u]Asher[/name_u] is such a lovely name, and I like the nn [name_u]Ash[/name_u].

I have an [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] so I’m partial to it! I’m not concerned that it will sound odd on him as a young adult - it’s a classic name with nickname options if he really wants one. (We call him [name_m]Art[/name_m] or [name_u]Artie[/name_u] at home, but he’s always [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] to anyone else.)

I’ve never met an adult [name_u]Asher[/name_u], so that’s actually harder for me to imagine. But it’s also a great name. You can’t really go wrong with either one!
