Archie has actually been used on its own for a while. I've heard of older Archies who were not Archibald.
Alfie, on the other hand, sounds infantile.
A lot of nickname names were quite popular in America during the 1880s.

They've been at it for a long time! My family tree contains a great-aunt by marriage who was born in 1879 and named Nellie. Her mother's given names were however Sandford Pick, so clearly nothing proves anything.

Brits love their nicknames for boys and girls.
My cousin's two sons are actually called Alfie and Archie, and her reason for using the nicknames, was that Alfred and Archibald are "too posh for someone like me." She also has a daughter called Abbie, and this time it wasn't that Abigail was too posh for her, she just thought it would be odd to use a full form when she hadn't for the two boys.
