This is a great name. It is like a more refined version of Hunter. I definitely predict this name blowing up in the next few years.

It feels like a name for both boys and girls. I actually named a character Archer, and she's a girl.

As an English person I want to say that we don't get to gatekeep names that Anglo Americans want to use. It makes sense for ppl to use surnames connected to their ancestral roots.

A cool Old English surname. I wonder how many people in England still have the surname Archer.

What is this? Do Americans really name their poor babies Archer? If yes, shame on you. It makes me think of clash of clans and someone who pierces the hearts and necks of others with an arrow in wars. You really think it goes well as a name? Then go ahead and do it.
Great for if you want the nickname Archie, but don’t want something as stuffy as Archibald. I think Archer is cool and unique, but not weird. On the TV show Grey’s Anatomy, Addison Montgomery’s brother is named Archer.

It's a surname. For me it doesn't work at all as a first name.

Glad to see that this name has finally been added to the database! I like it more than Hunter, as I think Archer has a less violent connection and sounds more refined. I also think that it could make a good modern-sounding alternative to Arthur.
