One of very few names where I would use the nickname over the whole form. Archibald is simply too out there, but Archie is perfectly suitable on a child as an elder.

Two famous fictional bearers:
Midshipman Archie Kennedy, played by actor Jamie Bamber, in the late 1990s British television Horatio Hornblower series starring Ioan Gruffudd. Portrayed as young Hornblower's best friend in the Royal Navy, Archie was a far bigger character in the series than in the books by C.S. Forester, and owing to Bamber's youthful good looks became a real hit with young female viewers. I wouldn't be surprised if the popularity of the name received a boost at that time.
Ventriloquist Peter Brough's dummy Archie Andrews, well-known on British television in the 1950s and 1960s.

I used to think this name was so old fashioned and adorable. Now all I think of is Archie Andrews from the Netflix drama Riverdale. This name is now not usable and is far too associated with his character. I'm bothered because I really liked the name Archie. Please help me get over Archie's character usage.

Archie Bradley is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB). He was drafted seventh overall by the Diamondbacks in the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft. After transferring from Muskogee High School to Broken Arrow Senior High School before his junior year, Bradley quickly became the starting quarterback on the school's varsity football team and a starting pitcher for the baseball team. After his junior year, Bradley was named to the 2010 Aflac All-American Baseball Classic roster. In 2011, during his senior season, he led the team to a 36–2 record and its first 6A State Championship since 1991. In the championship game against the Rams of Owasso High School, Bradley struck out 14 batters and allowed just two hits over seven innings in a 4–0 win. He finished his senior season with a 12–1 record, allowing just three earned runs in 71 1⁄3 innings, walking 11 batters and striking out 133. Bradley was expected to be drafted in the first round of the 2011 draft. He committed to play both football and baseball at the University of Oklahoma, but due to his high draft status, eventually signed a professional baseball contract. ESPN baseball insider, Keith Law, ranked Bradley as the number nine prospect in the 2011 draft. Archie was selected as the 7th Overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

I love the name, but all I can think of is pirates when I hear it. It's because when I played Pokemon Sapphire when I was little, there was a villain named Archie who looked like a pirate, so that's made an impression on me.
