Looking for a baby boy name...

Have narrowed them down to Noah, Archie, Spencer, Sid...

Please may you give me your honest opinions on these choices! I have serious indecisive preggy brain!! lol

Thank you for your help!!!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Not a fan of Spencer or Sid. Noah is ok and, although for me popularity as such is not an issue when choosing a name I do think Archie is very much "of the moment" and so might not age well (I realize it is an old-fashioned name but not one that has always been popular a la William/Edward etc.. - hope that makes sense!).

I quite like Spencer and Sid (Sidney on bc).

Don't like cutesy type names (Archie, Alfie, Albie etc) and agree that they sound twee and weak. They'll also date more than more solid names imo.

Noah is ok but quite popular. I personally don't like boys names ending in -a or -ah.

Noah: like this. I know it is supposed to be very popular, but I don't know any IRL whereas I know 3 preschool Archies.
Spencer: too surnamey. Don't like.
Archie: don't like boys' names that end in."ie". Think they sound weak and in my experience Archie is quite common.
Sid: quite like if use Sidney on bc.

I like Sidney, with Sid for short. Noah is OK but a bit of a "tired" fashion name now. Not keen on Archie - don't like nicknames as first names but dislike Archibald. Spencer too surnamey.

Noah by miles.

How about Miles?

Noah.

I like Archie best, and Sid if it's a nn. Noah is OK. Spencer is a perfectly good name, but I'm not keen.

I know a Noah and an Archie and think these are quite popular at the moment - not that this matters, I love Sophie and know thats extremely popular, I was just saying! :-)

I quite like Spencer and that less common. Dont like Sid though...

Spencer and Sidney are lovely.

I dislike Archie/Alfie type names and Noah sounds a little girly (but only because I know a female Noa)
