Noah or Archie?

[FrostyRose]

Hello :)
My first ever bundle of joy will be arriving very soon! I'm SO excited
It's a little boy and Archie was definitely his name, for about a week - I really like it and DH really likes it! However, each day, I still think of the name Noah in my head - I LOVE the name, but DH isn't that keen, but says he would be happy for him to call that... What do I go for!? Middle name will be Matthew...

I prefer Archie.

Archie definitely, Noah too faddy and soft imo. Congrats!

Every other baby seems to be named Noah these days. On Mumsnet at least. I think it's a dreadful name

There are a lot of noah's around. I'd go with archie

Noah may be a bit faddy right now but to me there are no boys names faddier than Archie and Alfie. They're everywhere.

Plus Archie is a bit naff really. Fine on a chubby toddler I suppose, but not a great name for an adult.

Archie, much prefer it.

Noah Matthew

Archie

Noah. I think Archie more ' of the moment'

Thanks Mitzy, DS1 has the name and is 16. Still suits him. Bloody long fad then....!

OP - folk loved the name when we called DS it, I still love it now, obviously

Or maybe I way WAY ahead of fashion

I don't think Archie is a name only for a chubby toddler...I know a 60 year old Archie who suits his name perfectly! As well as a 5year old one. Go with Archie

Is that Archie needastrongone? We know some very cool teens/20's Archie's it's a great name.

Yes it is! And thank you Penguito.

Sorry, appalling spelling in my last post, I didn't check it.

He has quite a traditional middle name, after DH's best mate, who sadly died at the age of 17. But that seems to work well.

I like Noah too though.

I have a Noah and it's fairly rare round our neck of the woods, only met one other

Of the two, Archie.

Noah, flows better with Matthew IMO.

Archie is still very nice as well.

Archie Matthew was born this morning - 3:24 a.m. and weighs 7 lbs 4 oz :) I'm really happy I stuck with Archie! It's perfect for him - thank you for the comments x

Archies at our school tend to be very similar to Alfies and Tylers. - lots of them.

No Noahs at all.

Congratulations!!!

Perfect, I love it. Congratulations OP.

Not that many Noah's where I am. Don't like Archie at all. Go with Noah.

Should of read the whole thread! Welcome to the world Archie
