What do you think of Archie? We're having our second boy. Our first is called Zac, really struggling to find something we love this time!

Sorry, but to me it’s like nails screeching on a board, sets my teeth on edge.

I really dislike it, sorry

The Archie I know is Archer James for his full name. I like it.

I prefer Archer, it sounds more elegant.

feelingsinister · 26/03/2019 23:58

I love Archie!

I like it and works well for Zac's brother.

I’m sorry I also hate it. Like Alfie, it’s just so twee. If you use Archer it makes it better but still not ideal.

Its quite popular. I took dgd to the park at the weekend and there were a couple of Archies playing on the slide. I like Archie but not keen on Archibald.

I don't like it. There are loads of them now, all between 7 and 10 years old.

Tiramisu1 · 27/03/2019 06:55

It sounds ugly (especially the Arch part), it looks twee and it seems faddy ie likely to date.

Tiramisu1 · 27/03/2019 06:57

Archibald is awful as a full name, Archer a little better. But isn't that someone who does archery?
