How does the name Archer sound for a baby boy?

[Mesha2323]

We are going to have a baby boy soon, and I really like the name Archie. However, I’m not sure if it will suit him as he grows up, so I was thinking of naming him ‘Archer Storm’. I was wondering if the name Archer is common and if it pairs well with the middle name Storm. Also, any name suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I’d love to have a trendy English name rather than a more traditional one 🥰

PS he will end up being called Archie anyway.

Archer sounds to me like a misspelled name

Archer 🏹 is awful as a name. If you like Archie, use the proper name Archibald.

Mine have more traditional names and accuse me of being boring. 😁

I really like Archer but Storm is just awful.

I also find Archie way too cutesy and think it will date badly

Sounds daft. Really daft. Don’t lumber a future adult with a silly name please.

Storm no

archer will spend his entire life saying

no not Archie, Archer

I prefer Archer to Archie but then I'm not a big fan of the Street Urchin type names.

I'm not too fond of it together with Stirm though but honestly, how many of us use our middle names? There was a slight ripple around the room at a DF's Wedding when his middle name was revealed but even he finds it hilarious.

Use the name you love

Awful names.

I expect this is a troll post

That's true too but I have a very common name, completely of it's time, and I spend a lot of time spelling it too.

Your child will hate you for it.

I actually like the name Archer. It's nice to hear a different name rather than the popular ones. Archie is nice too, but it doesn't go with Storm. Maybe Archer (and a traditional name)...

Yes!
OP, watch at least one episode of the tv show Archer (named after the main character) before deciding on the name.

Beef him up from an early age and he'd fit right in on the TV series Gladiators!!

We all know an Archie James.

We all know an Archie James

Just one?

Only Archie I know gets called Arch! Archie reminds me of a 60s pop group, Archer one of Star Trek's captains.

True 😆 there are three Archie's in my sons year

What are your other options

Can you spare Archer with a traditional name like William or Thomas? I think that makes Archer sound 10000% nicer

Archer is fine....Storm is not

I'd swap the order and go with Storm Archer. Then there's an excellent chance he'll feature in a weather warning one day.

IMO Archer sounds a bit wibbly, as though you like the name Archie but wanted him to be 'a bit different' to the millions of Archies currently running around. Everyone will mishear it as Archie anyway. And call him Arch or Archie.

Storm - well, if you must. Nobody uses their middle name anyway, which is why it's normally used as the receptacle for family names that the parents don't like but want a child to have invisibly. So it doesn't really matter past the first four or five days after birth when everyone asks what you're calling him.
