Archer

edited December 2014 in Baby Names
We're expecting a baby boy in May and while I think Archie is a cute nickname I worry about the uniqueness of the name Archer while also admiring it.
My husband is set on it and I'm not 100% yet. I see Archer on the rising popularity list. What do you ladies think?

Re: Archer

  • I kinda like it. I do think it's kind of time stamped, but it's one of the few I'm a fan of.
    It could also be that it's pretty close to the name we chose, Arthur. :)

  • I think it's alright. I don't see it becoming the next Jacob, Michael, Jackson... Etc.
  • Not my style but it isn't bad at all.
    Archie is nice.
    You could always do Archibald to still get Archie (a la Cary Grant for example :) )

  • You may meet a few in his lifetime but I don't think he'll have to be known as Archer A. in school or anything like that.

    I love the name.
  • It's on our list. DHs granddad was named Archie.

  • It's nms. I would prefer a more classic name like Arthur.
    Started adoption process in Jan. 2011.
    3 failed matches in 2012.
    Surprise pregnancy in Aug. 2012.
    Precious baby boy "HC" born May 2013.
    Began researching EA in 2014.
    No longer pursuing EA due to fibroid complications.
    Officially on the adoption home study wait list.

  • I guess Archer is a fine name, but I just don't like it. I don't think you should have to worry about it getting super popular.
