Aw, I love the sound of [name]Archer[/name] [name]Cole[/name], so cute and very handsome. [name]Archer[/name] and [name]Roman[/name] would make great brothers!
I don’t like [name]Aria[/name], it sounds so incomplete.
Thanks! I agree, I love how [name]Archer[/name] and [name]Roman[/name] would sound as siblings 
[name]Do[/name] you think [name]Ariana[/name] would sound more complete? I have that on my list as well, though I’m not sure if I prefer just [name]Aria[/name] or [name]Ariana[/name] <3 Music was always a huge part of my life, singing and playing the flute, piano, and violin. So I thought a name like Aria might reflect on it.
[name]Archer[/name] is a strong name and does sound great with [name]Roman[/name] as a sibling. I am a fan of word and nature names and this strikes a chord with both. However, there are some cons with this name. It’s skyrocketing in popularity because of pop culture phenomena like The Hunger Games and has the less than ideal association with the [name]Archer[/name] TV show.
If you have to choose between the two, I would say [name]Aria[/name], hands down. It’s beautiful, classic with a twist, feminine, has personal meaning to you because of your musical background…and the meaning itself is so powerful. A soaring operatic solo? There is passion and art and creativity in that name, all beautiful characteristics to bestow upon your daughter. This is not to say that [name]Archer[/name] does not have its own qualities of strength and skill, but for me, the two are not created equal

If you decide to choose [name]Aria[/name] and replace [name]Archer[/name], [name]Fletcher[/name] is definitely my favorite for you. Similar sound…the last syllable is practically the same. Still has that archery allusion. Still a word name, and follows that surname-to-first-name trend so your Hubs gets his modern twist. But there’s also something vintage about it to give you that “old man [name]Archie[/name]” feel.
Good luck!!
oooo love the nickname Hammer for [name]Hamish[/name] (name I’m currently considering for my boy, due in 4 weeks)
I think [name]Aria[/name] and [name]Archer[/name] make a great sibset as long as you don’t nn [name]Archer[/name] “[name]Archie[/name]”. I love them together. If I have to choose, I would pick [name]Aria[/name].
I have a little Ariana in my nursery class and she’s just adorable so I have positive thoughts about the name Ariana. And, yes it sounds complete as a Ariana and you can have the best of both worlds by nicknaming her Aria.
