There are lots Archies around aged 11 and under. As long as you are happy with that go for it.

Hard pass.

I like it and would have seriously considered it if we had had a boy, but we had three girls.

I see no problems with calling an adult Archie.

I would avoid. It's not 'classic' like other royal names (George, Charlotte etc) so it is more closely associated with the royal family.

It sounds like a nickname but I don't like the potential names it could be short for (Archer, Archibald).

Not really my cup of tea.

I love it, and I don't see any problem as an adult's name. Is it too popular is like asking how long is a piece of string. Do you dislike popular names? Some people love them. Do you know any Archies? Do you have a popular name and has it been an issue for you? I personally don't find it too popular, maybe because I don't know any little Archies.

Really, really not to my taste.

I think it will date badly.

Unless you think your child would like to go as Archibald as an adult, I'd leave it alone.
