From the experts:
Though short and brisk, no nickname name could have a more creative image. Comic actor Chris O'Dowd named his son Art, as in his native Ireland it's used as a name on its own, separate from Arthur., coming from an ancient word for “”a bear,”” and used in the sense of “”outstanding warrior”” or “”champion.”” A pagan High King of Ireland, Art’s rule was so honest that two angels hovered over him in battle.

What's wrong with Art?! I find it sweet, snappy and effortlessly cool.

Well, I like it! My late mentor was an Art/Arthur so of course, I have an extremely positive association with the name. But even with an objective view...its vintage, single syllable snap sounds like it's due for a revival.

It's Irish for Arthur and relatively familiar in IRELAND, the dual interpretation makes me like it even more to be honest...

I quite like this name. Even though it's a bit too out-there for me to use as a first name, I wouldn't mind Art as a middle.

I don’t know if I like it enough to use as a first name. It would make a super cool mn though!
