AwesomeThough I would prefer just Archimedes Homer! What an awesomely mythological name.

I think this is smashing! I may have switched a few things around so it didn't have Homer Sampson together like that... but otherwise it's splendid!!

Yeah, it's a whole lot of name, but it's got some great namesakes stuffed in there, so I don't mind one bit. Let's just hope he grows up to be a great person, because sometimes, kids don't live up to their namesakes, such as when parents name their kids after luxury items and they grow up to be poor or homeless.

OTT but...Over the top is true! But I'd argue that that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Some people love being over-the-top. Personally, I'd prefer to level out something intense like Archimedes with something more mellow. But that's just taste.All in all, I'd say the Homer Sampson part is too close to Homer Simpson, but otherwise it's not too bad at all. I'd tweek it to Archimedes Sampson Lloyd.

There's something about Archimedes that I like. I imagine him with brothers named Achilles and Perseus.

I'm honestly not sure where exactly I stand on it, but I don't think that I hate it. Very interesting. I wonder if they're planning on calling him Archie?

It has a pretty good flow actually. I don't mind the three middle names. It's kind of narrow-minded of people think that anything but one middle name is OTT (not saying you do). I really like the first name and he can go by Arch or Archie (which I really like). I don't like Homer or Sampson at all but Lloyd is pretty nice.

Archimedes is pretty cool. I actually quite like it as an alternative to Archibald, to get the nickname Archie. I wouldn't be brave enough to use it myself though.My main problem with this name is the Homer Sampson part... faaaaar too close to Homer Simpson!

Homer Sampson, lol. Definitely a bit OTT :)

Definitely OTT. With a name like Archimedes you need to tone it down in the middle name area. Archimedes Homer would've been nice, though still a bit much.
