You can’t go wrong here! In order from most favorite:

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]

I voted [name_m]Charles[/name_m] though I do sort of like [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] as well. I just went with [name_m]Charles[/name_m] as I have never met a young gentleman with the name nor have I known a folk to use it as anything but a middle. Congratulations and best wishes to your family!

[name_m]Charles[/name_m] <3

[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is cute

Congratulations! These are all great names. You can’t go wrong with this list–is there one that seems to suit him best?

I picked [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], mostly just because I like the name, the associations to [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and all that, but also because it is the most uncommon on your list (while still being easy to say and spell for everyone). But then I thought maybe that makes it the outlier in your list and you like very recognizable names. In that case I’d go for [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]–I just love the nicknames [name_u]Sam[/name_u] and [name_u]Sammy[/name_u]. But as I said, you can’t go wrong!

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]

These two also seem to pair well to me:
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]

My favorites in order:

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] would be a great combo!

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m] gets my vote!

My order of preference:
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]

I love [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]

Thanks everyone for all the thoughtful comments.
We have decided to go with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and are so happy to have him home with us.
