I really like Archer, but also thinking about Ralph (Ralphie). Which do you prefer? Do they conjur up different boys? I normally like more vintage/old man boys names, is Archer too trendy? (And is Archie ok as a baby nn?) Thoughts on a postcard please!

Archer is not a name.
Ralph is lovely.

How would you pronounce Ralph? The American way sounding the L or the trad English way of Rafe? I like the latter but not so keen on the American way.
Archer is ok but not Archie. To me it's like a finger Mail on a blackboard -- really unpleasant screeching sound

I'd also go with Ralph/Ralphie.
I do like Archer, but not Archie.

Archer is nice, Archie's cute for a baby but a bit overdone.

I like Ralph/Ralphie. I'd go with that one, it's more "vintage/old man" and far less popular.

Not keen on either but Archer at a push.

I prefer Archer. Not at all keen on Ralph.
