I know they’re both popular that does not put me off as they’re both family names just cannot decide which we prefer...

I prefer Frankie because it can be shortened to Frank as they get older.

Not sure I can imagine a man called Archie....

Not worried about the Harry and Meghan connection, it is a family name plus I do not follow the royals so that does not put me off.

Thank you though

Francis with Frankie nn.

Archie is nicer, and my choice had you asked this question prior to Meghan and Harry.

Now, the timing is too synonymous.

Archie. Frankie is such an ugly sounding name.

I think Archie is much nicer, not keen on Frankie at all.

I prefer Frankie

Frankie. Very cute shortened to Frank.
Not Archie coz of Megan & Harry's son.

Frankie - Frank then is the option if he prefers when older. I also think it sounds retro but also now, whereas Archie just sounds retro to me.
