Archie

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 ♥️

Yes it's a lovely name

SnowShow1 · 11/03/2018 07:37

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

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

I know quite a few young Archies.

SnowShow1 · 11/03/2018 07:33

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

Also Archer to consider...

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 :)

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.

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.

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

VioletCharlotte · 10/03/2018 22:12

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