Help[Opinions] Re: Archibald
in reply to a message by Felie
I think in the US it would come across as a hipster niche name. Like, I imagine a little Archibald's father might own mustache wax.
It is fashionably eccentric (the arch part is fashionable, because of Archer, but the bald part is odd sounding), and names that are used primarily in the UK are often heard as pretentious by Americans. But, I'd enjoy seeing it. I think it's sunshiny.
Stylewise, I'd put it with these: Leopold, Alistair, Rupert, Maximilian, Percival, Benedict, Montgomery, Reginald, Walter, Boris, Eugene, Neville, Dexter, Phineas.
