So my DS is called Brodie and I will be expecting DS2 in September and struggling on names for him, me and my partner really like Reggie, Archie and Alfie but I'm unsure for different reasons with each of them e.g
Reggie: kray twin association and the fact it sounds like wedgie,
Archie: I'm worried it will be too popular with Harry and Meghan calling there baby Archie but was my second choice when naming Brodie.
Alfie: again worried it's too popular or too cutesy?
Your opinions would be great thanks for reading :)

Honestly, none of them. I dislike diminutives used as first names. Archie and Alfie have always been popular but I suspect Archie will now have a spike.

Lachlan, Douglas or Caleb would be nice with Brodie...

I love the names Alfie and Archie.
Also like Ronnie, as suggested up-thread
Not keen on Reggie

I'm biased and would go for Reggie. My son is Reginald nickname Reggie & yes, we use both!

I would avoid Archie for the reason you have stated.

What about Brodie &...

Sonny? Ronnie? Freddie? Vinny? Rory? Frankie? Jesse?

I would definitely not have another-ie name with Brodie.

Struan

Archie definitely isn't associated with one generation where I'm from. In fact it's an "old man" name having a revival.

I only know Alfies and Archies aged 12 and under. Very 2000s!

Reggie is lovely! Smile

Archie is going to get very popular very quickly, Reggie is horrible and Alfie has been over-used.
Sorry OP.

I really don't like Archibald/Archie or Reginald/Reggie. Alfred is ok but I hate Alfie.

Brodie is a great name and I feel that Caleb or Quinn would be a great sibling name.

I thoroughly dislike them all. Sorry, OP.
