They have all been averagely popular for about 7-8 years.

Foxinthechickencoop · 23/07/2020 22:04

Very. In the south west.
They are top ten names. There are at least one of each in pre school, foundation and years 1 & 2. And 1 or 2 of them in each year throughout primary school.

That said, they get nice solid names. So if you like them, does it matter?

SleepingStandingUp · 23/07/2020 22:04

Theo I know two in early years and 2 babies
Archie I don't know any
Alfie I know one in infant school

But the names are generally v popular, just on a society level

NameChange84 · 23/07/2020 22:05

I know only one baby boy who wasn’t called Theodore/Theo/Teddy in the past few years (Jude, his brother is Theo!). The names you picked would be in the Top 5 round here with Arlo and Albie being in there too.
too!

NameChange84 · 23/07/2020 22:06

Sorry, meant to say I’m in Greater Manchester

Doobydoo · 23/07/2020 22:07

IggyAce · 23/07/2020 22:07

North East and work in a school.
Theo know 3 all under 5.

Alfie: Know loads there are 2 in ds year group and at least 1 in every year group.

Archie: don’t know any.

Heismyopendoor · 23/07/2020 22:08

Only one or two Theos but about 600 Archies and Alfies. Mostly all primary school age and younger.

InsertHilariousUserName · 23/07/2020 22:09

Alfie and archie, probably about 15 in the school I work in (900 kids)

Babs709 · 23/07/2020 22:09

I met one Theo a few months ago but none others; a good few Archies and Alfies. South East.

Teacaketotty · 23/07/2020 22:10

Don’t know any of those at the moment - southern scotland!

Lovelivingbythebeach3 · 23/07/2020 22:10

On the south coast, and in my year R class I had one of each this year!

Mrsmadevans · 23/07/2020 22:12

Very popular here S E WALES AREA

MaryHeck · 23/07/2020 22:12

London. Theo is definitely popular for little ones.

Alfie was popular for kids who are now teens.

I don’t know any Archies.

PixellatedPixie · 23/07/2020 22:14

North Surrey - I know two Theo’s (both around 5) and a dog called Archie but no humans!

MissHoney85 · 23/07/2020 22:19

I'm a teacher in SW London. Loads of Alfies, a lot of Archies, a few Theos.

Justjoshin22 · 23/07/2020 22:21

Don’t know any - in central Scotland. When I lived in London I knew a baby Theo but only one

mnahmnah · 23/07/2020 22:21

All three are popular in the North West

Mustardpot · 23/07/2020 22:23

Lots and lots of Alfies and Archies, no Theos. South East England.

PatchworkElmer · 23/07/2020 22:26

I know 3 Theos, and 2 Archies... no Alfies. East of England.

Lollypop4 · 23/07/2020 22:26

I only know of 1 each in our small community, West Wales.
I know a few Alfies though from out of area

AnnaSW1 · 23/07/2020 22:29

Theodore rather than Theo is very popular near me. The other two aren't. I'm in London

mamaduckbone · 23/07/2020 22:30

Theo was popular in ds14's year and I know of one other aged around 10 but I don't know any little ones. Alfie and Archie I know a few of each between the age of 5 and 11 - more Alfies than Archies. I'd say they are all middling popular names. We're East Midlands.

HeeeeyDuggee · 23/07/2020 22:34

South west

Their are 6 Alfie’s in my sons year (year3) 2 are in his class. We know another 3 Alfie’s from the Childminder’s.

We know 4 Archies. 2 in my sons class and others are friends kids

Lots of Theo’s! I’ve got 3 or 4 in my baby groups for my toddler, a couple I know from eldest school and loads in my babies baby groups (pre covid)

If you like the name tho I wouldn’t let its popularity stop you

Hellhath · 23/07/2020 22:36

Yorkshire.
The Theo I know is 8, the Archie is 9, the Alfie is 5. Archie and Alfie seem to be on the decline.
