    Luther and Arthur as brothers?

    Thoughts on Luther and Arthur as brothers? My son's name is Luther and we have contemplated using Arthur for the next if it is a boy.

    I find them to be too matchy for my own taste. Perhaps Arthur as a middle? That being said, if you love and agree on having brothers Luther and Arthur, then never mind what everyone else says. It's your opinion that counts!

    I voted "too matchy" but I probably should have voted "other" because the problem for me is that they're too theme-y. Luther is only one letter away from Uther who was King Arthur's father in the legends. Just a heads-up- while I wouldn't do it myself, perhaps you were trying to do a theme. That being said, I love both names individually and would love the theme on a sibset whose parents were historians/classicists/etc.

    Favourite names:
    Girls: Azalea, Portia, Victoria, Diana, Cordelia, Francesca, Felicity, Elizabeth, Georgiana, Juliet, Scarlett
    Boys: Fitzwilliam, Sebastian, Darcy, Cedric, Tristan, Deveraux, Percival, Riordan, Edward

    The names are a just a little too similar for brothers. I do think Luther needs a broth with a classic and jet spunky name.
    How about Willem, Alaric or Anton?
    Aurelia - Coralie - Elva - Illyria - Lorelei - Loretta - Merida - Ofelia/Ophelia - Tabitha - Viola - Wisteria
    Alaric - Anton - Emmett - Erich - Felix - Hugo - Ludwig - Oscar/Osgar - Tristan - Victor - Vincent

    I find them a little heavy to pronounce together. They are great names though. I really like Magnus!

    Sorry I think they are a bit too matchy for brothers but that is just my opinion and I think it could work if you liked it enough.
