Archie

[SpongeCake23]

What do you think of it? I've worked in many schools over the years both south and north of the country and only ever come across one Archie!

It's a Scottish name originally and my partner's family are Scottish.

I always loved it after watching the TV programme on Sunday evenings called Monarch of the Glen and there was an Archie in that ♥️

[bridgetreilly]

I know an Archie. Great name.

[VioletCharlotte]

It's nice. Ds2 is 16 and there's 3 or 4 Archie's in his year.

[allthegoodusernameshavegone]

Gorgeous name as was the guy in monarch of the glen, I know a few all early teens now.

[EhWhatPardon]

I have an Archie who is 13. I always loved the name since my grandma talked about her family in Scotland. My oldest son has a "Campbell" name too.

[RumAppleGinger]

I live in Scotland and have my own Archie. I think i maybe know another 3 Archie's at my son's school, and one dog with the same name. I still love the name and am glad we used it for DS1.

[FairyFantastic]

I don't like it but then again I grew up with Balamory...but if you like it go for it! I like the connection with your DP's family, and you sound like you really love it so go for it :)

[SnowShow1]

I teach and i have come across a fair few. Not really really popular but heard of.

Also Archer to consider...

[LoveEricLove]

I know quite a few young Archies.

[pipilangstrumpf]

I really don't like it, it sounds too cutesy and I hate the full name Archibald.

[SnowShow1]

Though it is actually inside the top 20 list. Popularity doesn't bother me- if you like it go for it

[DownstairsMixUp]

Yes it's a lovely name

[sonlypuppyfat]

Every other kid and dog is called archie by me, I don't like it

[FreshHorizons]

It seems very popular at the moment and I know 4 under 5 yr olds. I never see them without thinking Archibald. I don't know why it is so popular.

[91bees]

I love the name, there's only 2 in DCs primary school so not too common, though I suppose it depends where you live.

[missmorleyme]

My nephew has a full head of red hair and his name is archie ans l think it suits him more. For some reason when i picture an archie its either someone with glasses on or red hair. I love the name.

[userabcname]

In my area it's very popular- I have taught many an Archie! They are usually quite lively characters!

[Kokeshi123]

For some reason when i picture an archie its either someone with glasses on or red hair.

Maybe you are thinking of the Little Archie comics?

Archer is nice as a full name.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I like Archie.

[NC4Now]

Its popular around here. I know four.
It’s a nice name though.

[chezmk1988]

Nice but popular like Alfie

[SpongeCake23]

I've barely heard it in the schools I've worked in...but I guess it depends on area.

[mamahanji]

Its cute. There's about 7 I know of. It's very popular here.

[lecossaise]

It always makes me picture Archie MacPherson.

[Ancientmummyofwooooos]

I like Archie (i have a little red headed Archie of my own) but Archer is a lovely alternative too.

[DramaAlpaca]

I really dislike it, I don't like cutesy names.
