Arthur nicknames
We are considering the name Arthur for our third son. Are there any nicknames that might work? Also - his middle name will be Lock - a family name. Would "Arlo" as a nickname be too much of a stretch?

The only nickname I've ever heard of for Arthur is Art. Arlo might be a bit of a stretch, but I think it can work.

Hi !!!Arthur is handsome!!!!!It doesn't need any NN imo.
It is already strong and enough short.After that I find Art, Artie and Arlo all horrible.

Our dog's name is Arthur (regret it now as I'd love to use it for a son)We don't really shorten it often, occasionally we call him Arfy. We had wanted to use Artie but we don't.

I like Art and if you are using Lock for mn, I do think Arlo would work.

I love Arthur! I've also been thinking about potential nicknames for it recently and have been stumped. I've only ever heard Art been used. I don't think Arthur particularly needs a nickname, but I guess Arlo could work.

My choice would be Archie, so I don't think Arlo is too much of a stretch.

Art is the most common one I know, and I like it. Artie when they are young. Arlo is a stretch, but technically works.
