So my DS is called Brodie and I will be expecting DS2 in September and struggling on names for him, me and my partner really like Reggie, Archie and Alfie but I'm unsure for different reasons with each of them e.g
Reggie: kray twin association and the fact it sounds like wedgie,
Archie: I'm worried it will be too popular with Harry and Meghan calling there baby Archie but was my second choice when naming Brodie.
Alfie: again worried it's too popular or too cutesy?
Your opinions would be great thanks for reading :)

I don't like any of the suggestions but especially dislike Alfie and Archie. Too cutesy and overused.

Brodie is lovely but I probably wouldn't choose another-ie name. How about

Brodie and Quinn
Brodie and Liam
Brodie and Felix

I strongly like Archie best from your 3 options, royal baby notwithstanding. I think Archie is a good name. I also like suggestions of Jonty, Rory and Monty.

Archie- def no now
Alfie- so over used the last 10 years.
Reggie- def no. Yes to wedgie and yes to Kray.

What about:-
Carson
Carter
Brandon
Ezra
Baxter
Grayson
Nate
Addison
Jackson
Aubry
Tatum
Tate
Quinn
Ralph
Sonny
Chase
Ellis
Eli
Elijah
Dayton
Dexter
Ashton
Sean
Fletcher
Axel
Parker
Brendan
Shane
Guy
Kenzo
Levi
Marcus
Clayton

Reggie

I think they are all very nice names, but they are all quite popular at the moment. My favourite is Alfie, with Alfred as a full name followed by Reggie.

Rory

Casey? Goes well with Brodie.

Or Brandon? I know alliteration isn't for everyone but I like it Blush

Peachbubble · 27/05/2019 20:05

I like Alfie

lucymegan · 27/05/2019 20:05

What about cayson, Isaac, Caleb.

FizzyGreenWater · 27/05/2019 20:03

Actually though they sound very similar - think again. If you definitely want an ie/y ending, how about:

Jonty

Laurie

Cory

I like Reggie the best from your list (the kray thing wouldn't bother me)
Archie's nice.
Alfie's my least favourite from your list.

FizzyGreenWater · 27/05/2019 19:59

I don't like any of them I'm afraid! Archie is a no, surely. Reggie Kray - argh. First thing you think of. And Alfie is so overused - absolutely everywhere.

Brodie is really nice, none of those measure up.

Roddy springs to mind as a good match for Brodie - perhaps the Scottish feel - ?
