Archer?

[chummymummy7]

What do we think of Archer for a boy? I think Archie's a great nn (yes, I know it's popular - doesn't bother me), but don't much like Archibald.

I thought Archer might be a good alternative for the birth certificate...along the lines of Hunter ie. strong and masculine. Then again, I could be losing the plot. Help!

The Archers, Radio 4.

Archers cheap and tacky alcoholic drink.

Why not just go with Archie?

my great grandfather was called Archer Lewis. Great name. I floated it when we were expecting DS but DH thought it was too Victorian.

I prefer it to Archibald as well. We considered it for DS (due May) also with nickname Archie but settled on James instead as Archer is just a wee bit out there for us, not "traditional" enough as we're very dull safe

But I do like it!

Love it! Miles better then Archibald! Go with Archer

Ohhh I quite like this..go for it!

I'm so over Archibald stomp stomp unable to use it my ex was X Archibald but do love Archie.

Err reminds me of the Archers Peach Schnapps I drank as a student ( and the nasty hangovers afterwards)....

Cool.

Quite surprised at the resoundingly positive reaction. Thanks.
As soon as I posted I thought about Jeffrey Archer and immediately thought I was in for a blasting.

Cupofbrown & SeaweedNK....aaah - long and happily forgotten memories of nights out on the Archers. The sickly sugar rush had more of an effect than the alcohol.

Right - this thread can come to an end now as we might well go for the name and don't want anyone else 'borrowing' it!

I love it, was in my (not DH's) shortlist. I worked with a man called Archer and it made him cool
