What do you think of Artair? Is it usable? Do you prefer Arthur?

Thanks!

With the right herritage it the right area, it would be very nice. I just can't see any person being named Artair though.
I find it better then Arthur, which I am not a fan of.

I don't like either. My first thought was "artery" (the Swedish word, artär, sounds a bit like Artair).

I hadn't realized the similarity to "artery" until you pointed it out.

Thanks!

I like it, but I think it would trip people up. I have a friend named Padraigh, and NOBODY can wrap their head around it being kind of like Patrick but not actually being Patrick.

That's a fantastic point. I think most people are pronouncing it AR-tair, instead of AR-ter and that would obviously be problematic.

Thank you!

I like it, I think it would make a great mn.

I don't like Arthur at all.

No, I don't think Artair is usable. It sounds like a really phony posh pronunciation of Arthur, like somebody imitating a stereotypical French waiter. But more, it sounds like an art supply, like something that lets you paint on an airplane.
