Hiding!! No really, thanks all for the VERY honest feedback. I wanted to know if these names work in this country and I got my answer. It won't necessarily change our opinions on baby's name, but at least I know what to expect. (thanks MrsRV!)

OP?

Wow - people can be sooooo rude. I mean, there are opinions, and then there are those people that should really listen to that old saying "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all". You know the one where you politely fuck off to avoid hurting someone's feelings???

Anyhoo... very cool names, i like Renzo, Archer is lovely.

And whilst Archer is okay, it would not work for me for two reasons:

  1. Archie is very popular and the poor wee soul would spend his life correcting people about his name
  2. I would wonder if you were a fan of The Archers
Lilipot15 · 03/02/2016 20:35

I'm sorry but whilst I think they'd all be good names for a dog, for a child, not so much.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 03/02/2016 20:30

Archer

The others are awful

TwistInMySobriety · 03/02/2016 20:27

FFS as has been pointed out several times already, Renzo IS a real name, just not a British one.

ItchyArmpits · 03/02/2016 17:53

If I saw the name Renzo on the register I would pronounce it Henzo, praying you had named him after a prominent Brazilian jiujitsu practitioner (please, please let that be the case!)
If you would like your son to have an unusual name, call him Dave. He'll be the only one in his class.

TheoriginalLEM · 03/02/2016 17:45

sorry, but Renzo sounds made up, Archer? Depends how pretentious you want to appear i suppose.

Weston? If i were spiteful i'd be calling him Super Mare.

SEriousl, what is wrong with James, David, Edward? You know, actual names?

you really REALLY don't have to be creative with your children's names, in fact, its better if you;re not

NadiaWadia · 03/02/2016 17:23

None of the above.

Alisvolatpropiis · 03/02/2016 00:46

I think Enzo is nicer than Renzo.

Archer is alright

Weston is a big no.

Paintedhandprints · 02/02/2016 19:33

Ah Renzo (Piano, the famous italian ).
Sorry, your ds will never amount to anything being lumbered with that name. Certainly not become a high court judge or a famous italian architect. Deary me.
(insert sarcastic emoticon).
Archer is a nice name too.
I'm not keen on Weston (super mare). Sorry.

WannaBeAMummy16 · 02/02/2016 19:26

I like Weston.

Sunshine511 · 02/02/2016 18:39

I really dislike Weston and Renzo. I think Archer is reasonable and has had some positive feedback on other threads on here. I think the fact it's been thrown in with Weston and Renzo is causing some people to be more brutal about the name Archer than they may have otherwise been. It's not really my cup of tea but I've met a couple and have never thought it was an awful name x

Bathsheba · 02/02/2016 18:12

My Dad's best friend for a million years is called Renzo so I am drawn to it

TwistInMySobriety · 02/02/2016 17:15

Not for real people

Give the boy an actual first name would be my opinion

Yeah, those foreigners with their stupid made-up names, what are they like eh? Hmm

Pipistrella · 31/01/2016 19:04

There's always Benzo. Smile

Seriously, I think Archer is, hmm, reasonably OK though not my cup of tea, but the others are sadly terrible.

None - for a minute I thought this was a thread in the Doghouse.

Sorry OP

slebmum1 · 31/01/2016 17:15

Dog names?

BackforGood · 31/01/2016 17:11

fraid I'm with almost everyone else.
Give the boy an actual first name would be my opinion.

FuckedUpFanjo · 31/01/2016 16:30

Weston - dreary grey hometown
Renzo- short for Lorenzo OK
Archer - like but don't like Archie

Thetruthfairy · 31/01/2016 16:01

Isn't Weston an old English name?
I like Archer x

stiffstink · 31/01/2016 11:14

Weston was the middle name of one of the twins from Bros

Sofiria · 31/01/2016 10:51

I agree with the suggestions of Enzo or Lorenzo. Don't like any of your original choices, sorry!
