What's in a name?

Clare and I were having the usual discussion in response to the question, "So...have you thought of a name yet?" We were going through the list.... Mark*, Jon, William, Arthur...

“Arthur?”, our friends questioned.

“Yes, it might sound a bit old-fashioned, but we rather like it”, was our reply.

“But you can’t call him Arthur…Arthur Dungey….’alf-a dungey…half a dungey!” was the incredulous response.

“Ah… we hadn’t thought about it like that!”

It does beg the question, are we prepared to be parents when we can’t even think of a sensible name?!
