Archie

[SpongeCake23]

What do you think of it? I've worked in many schools over the years both south and north of the country and only ever come across one Archie!

It's a Scottish name originally and my partner's family are Scottish.

I always loved it after watching the TV programme on Sunday evenings called Monarch of the Glen and there was an Archie in that ♥️

Far too cutesy imo. Twee.

Also every child and its dog is currently called Archie!

I'm going to stick to my guns and go with Archie if it's a boy as it's the only boys name me and OH can agree on and I really like it.

I know 4 Archies, all aged under 5. Not my favourite name but i think it ages better than the milly/tilly type names.

Currently trying to get my OH to love this name instead of just like it!
I LOVE it and definitely my favourite choice so far!
He says Archibald is terrible, and I agree, I wouldn't call him that, just Archie! X

I like Archie.

I would definitely use it as a standalone name in it's own right, not as a short form of Archibald, which I don't like at all.

It's q common here - I know loads of Archie's - from about ages 9 and younger

I like Archie a lot! There actually seems to be a lot of love for it on this thread, so I wouldn’t let a few dislikes put you off if you love it. Our boys are Archie and Hamish, like you we have Scottish family. Go for it!

If you line it then go for it.
It seems every other boy under the age of 16 is called Archie or Alfie where I live.

I LOVE LOVE Archie! A possible contender for our current bump actually!

But I'm a strong believer in a traditional name with a nickname and I'm not sure I can bring myself to name a baby Archibald! lol

** side note, I have also seen it used as a nickname for Archer. x

@lovelsa I certainly think it can be a stand alone name!
