We're more and more loving the name Archer for our bump if blue. Full name I think would be Archer James W..... (2 syllables).
Archer was my husband's grandfather's name and he was apparently named after a Nobel Prize winning chemist Archer Martin. To me it sounds strong but also nice and olde in a Victorian sort of way.
I know everyone will say if we love it we should go for it... BUT general opinion seems to be against it - esp on baby naming websites!
To my mind this spy tv show of the same name is hardly mainstream and will be over before he's even a toddler?
What are your thoughts good or bad?? If anyone out there loves it let me know! :). Otherwise it's back to the long list....

I think it's nice, quite unusual. I think for a baby I'd end up calling him Archie.

Reminds me of the archers tbh. Or Archie with a twist! Or in a Scottish accent archer having a nice time.

I like it. Got a certain ring to it.

I don't mind it. But I am a fan of a simple tale of country folk.

I like it. My first crush was called Tim Archer and it makes me think of him!
