I don't like the name, but I don't think it's too childish for an adult. People also say that about Zoe and Chloe and it's ridiculous. However, I agree with your mother as far as it not being a full name. One of my strongest dislikes when it comes to names are nicknames on a birth certificate.

As for being dated to this era, yes, they both will seem that. Archie is popular in the UK and Archer is getting there. The only way to avoid a name dated to the era in which the child is born is to use a name that's already dated or one that has never been popular.
