Don’t know any - in central Scotland. When I lived in London I knew a baby Theo but only one

MissHoney85 · 23/07/2020 22:19

I'm a teacher in SW London. Loads of Alfies, a lot of Archies, a few Theos.

PixellatedPixie · 23/07/2020 22:14

North Surrey - I know two Theo’s (both around 5) and a dog called Archie but no humans!

MaryHeck · 23/07/2020 22:12

London. Theo is definitely popular for little ones.

Alfie was popular for kids who are now teens.

I don’t know any Archies.

I met one Theo a few months ago but none others; a good few Archies and Alfies. South East.

NameChange84 · 23/07/2020 22:06

Sorry, meant to say I’m in Greater Manchester

NameChange84 · 23/07/2020 22:05

I know only one baby boy who wasn’t called Theodore/Theo/Teddy in the past few years (Jude, his brother is Theo!). The names you picked would be in the Top 5 round here with Arlo and Albie being in there too.
too!

SleepingStandingUp · 23/07/2020 22:04

Theo I know two in early years and 2 babies
Archie I don't know any
Alfie I know one in infant school

But the names are generally v popular, just on a society level

Foxinthechickencoop · 23/07/2020 22:04

Very. In the south west.
They are top ten names. There are at least one of each in pre school, foundation and years 1 & 2. And 1 or 2 of them in each year throughout primary school.

That said, they get nice solid names. So if you like them, does it matter?

QueenBlueberries · 23/07/2020 22:00

They have all been averagely popular for about 7-8 years.
