Archie and.....??

[emmyloo25]

Hey all

Just found we're having a little girl. Already have a 6 year old boy, Archie. This little lass is an IVF baby <3 We have a few names we like but interested to hear thoughts and new suggestions. I really love Alba but upon googling it, wow I didn't expect it to be so divisive! I thought all alba's were just cool chicks. People seem to be outraged by the name :D

Other thoughts
-Evelyn (means 'wished for child', IVF baby, cute) - issue is might shorten to Evie and that is my god daughter who I see frequently
-Iris
-Ivy
-Mollie/Millie?
-Annie
-Hope

Any thoughts?!

How about Mabel? That means ‘lovable’ which is quite a sweet meaning and I think it goes well with Archie. Many congratulations! X

Hmm.. I think this isn’t a good pairing due to the Prince Harry connection!

Oh yes - hadn't thought of that!

Archie and Izzy would be nice too

I did so want to offer Mehitabel as a suggestion but I won’t.

Iris, Ivy, Annie and Millie / Molly are my favourites- all lovely. Evelyn nn Evie is very overused round us and I’m not keen on Hope.

I’d pick Ivy, Iris or Annie I think - can’t choose between them!

Archie and Eliza is cute!!! And yes I’m an Emma (but family call me Emmy!) 🤣

Honor was originally on my list 😍 my great aunt’s name! 🥰

I love Mabel but my partner says it’s a dogs name 😭

I think Izzy is way too common I have about 6 friends called Izzy 🤣

Honestly my husband has said similar when it’s been on my lists before 😂 so I guess I was hoping I could live vicariously through someone else but not to be! Lots of other lovely names on this thread though x

Straight away I thought Archie and Mabel would be a lovely sib set.

Further options are

Nancy
Adaline
Hattie
Emmeline
Halle
Imogen

I like Ivy, Iris and Molly with archie

i think Evelyn is nice too but will inevitably be evie which is too close imo.

Other suggestions. Archie and

edith/ edie
violet
daisy
hazel
lily
ida
Dorothy/ dottie
elsie
nancy
sadie
nora
nellie
bella
olive
alma
margot

Really like Evelyn. We have an Evelyn in the family and never gone by Evie, just Evelyn or Ev.

Iris and Ivy are too common for me. I work in a nursery and theres loads. Prefer Iris of the 2 too.

Love Hope too, especially as a first name as a bit different.

Mollie/Millie are ok. Much prefer Evelyn though.

I do like Annie too, but prefer Anna or Anne. Also like Alba.

Evelyn and hope either way around sounds lovely I think.

Sorry not much help as you have a good list!
My order of preference is:

Hope
Evelyn
Alba

My DD is Annie ❤️
I also love Delilah, Eliana, Eloise, Lucia, Polly

Amy.
Adalynne/Adelaide
Aurora

Not keen on Alba. I think Annie is lovely but would go with Annabel and just shorten to Annie. Annabel Honor sounds pretty.

Please no more Evies…

Harriet, nn Hattie?

Why do people think names that sound 'cute' are a good thing?
You do realise the OP is naming an actual person, who will be an adult for far, far longer than she will be an baby/toddler.
How many 60-year-old women want a 'cute' name? Clue: None

Lilibet?

Poppy

You alright babes? You sound stressed 😅

I don’t think I’d ever live down calling my two children exactly the same names as Harry and Meghan 🤣 in my defence i did name my Archie about 6 months before Meghan gave birth!!
