Help[Opinions] Archie
I've had a soft spot for this name for years so when Harry and Megan announced it as their son's name, I enjoyed the hype that it got. But I remember my mum saying at the time that she didn't like it because it "wasn't a full name" and "what happens when he's 40 and has to tell people that his name is Archie?".
I've been thinking about that lately and wondering whether she was right. I can imagine Archie on a child and a teenager but would it sound too youthful on an adult? Is Archer any better? I love Archer as well but I already have so many surnames on my list (and many of those ending in -er) that I usually lean toward Archie. Will both of them seem dated to around this era no matter which variant is used? WDYT?
