HelpRe: Archie
in reply to a message by NobodyOfConsequence
I’m biased as Archie is the name my son goes by so clearly I really like it. That being said, I agree with your mum that it’s not a full name - my son’s proper name is Archibald.
I don’t really think it will seem dated to this era - my Grandma had an uncle Archie who was born in 1911 and it’s always been in pretty regular use (there’s at least one in every branch of my family tree), but we live in Scotland so it’s probably not the same case everywhere else. I’ve also known and worked with quite a few grown up Archies so I don’t find it too youthful - in fact when we were telling my parents the names we were considering my mum associated Archie as an old man’s name.
I’m not a fan of Archer to be honest and that one I do think might seem dated to this era (like Cooper or Bailey).
