What do you think of Archer for a baby boy?

[pramspotter]

I got talked out of Asher for a boy. What about Archer?

Not keen, sorry

Neither am I really but we are trying to come up with a compromise name. I think we are back to Alex now anyway.

I like it. It's not a name i've heard before, but sounds distinguished rather than silly.

Do you have something about names beginning with A? I really liked Albert (Albie) but have had two girls!

I love Alex

And Lex, as a shortened version

There is a character in 'small soldiers' called archer but he is a toy and a sort of monster (but a nice one). Not sure I could get past that. Lex is Lex luthor.
BTW I am not a film nut!

I don't know why but I do like A names. I liked Aaron but DH shot me down on that. I keep coming up with names and he keeps saying no way but isn't suggesting anything either. So I am scraping the bottom of the barrel.

DH has 5 brothers with my top 5 fave names. So those names are all out. My 9 nephews all have my other favourite names. Alex and Archer are growing on me anyway.

But there are Alex's everywhere...at least 2 girls and 2 boys in our dc's class.... whereas Archer is unique and nice sounding!

I like Archer, and Archie.
I like Alex too, but it's very popular where I live so that would put me off.

Archer is horrible. They would probably have to put up with people humming 'the Archers' theme tune!
How about Adam?

I liked Ashby, well still like but DH has said no, like he has with every other name, sounds like your DH lol

Archer is a surname and makes you think of Jeffrey Archer.

I like Asher and Alfie, but not keen on Archer

x

Asher is nicer IMO, pukka old testament name.

Naff.

A surname that makes many many people think Dum-de-dum-de-dum-de-dum

Horrible

I need to try and talk DH into Aaron.

OMG I just suggested Abram or Abraham as a joke and he okayed it. WTF?

Arher is lovely. Have never heard it before but love it!

I like archer... not at all keen on asher.

I know a two year old called Archer - he's always been known as Archie though. I prefer Alex, having one myself

Tum te tum te tum te tum
Tum te tum te tum tum

Podley Podley pom.

Huh? Is that the theme tune to "Archers"? Someone mentioned it on this thread but I have never seen it.
