Full name for Archie?

I absolutely love the nickname Archie but I hate the name Archibald a lot. Any other suggestions for a full name for Archie?

[name_f]My[/name_f] immediate thought was [name_u]Archer[/name_u] :bow_and_arrow:

Although it’s shorter in letters and syllables, [name_m]Archie[/name_m] would be a good nn for [name_u]March[/name_u], I think? Unless you’d want to go for something unusual like [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m] or Archil (& even then) there aren’t many options with the built in ā€˜arch’ sound.

[name_m]Ivo[/name_m] and [name_m]Ivor[/name_m] mean archer. [name_m]Evander[/name_m] is a Scottish variant. [name_m]Beauden[/name_m] and [name_m]Boden[/name_m] contain the bow shape of the archer in their meaning. If you’d consider [name_m]Archie[/name_m] as a nn for a name with bow in its meaning then that also gives -
[name_m]Walken[/name_m]
[name_m]Jalus[/name_m]
[name_u]Kyler[/name_u]
[name_u]Enfys[/name_u]
[name_u]Arrow[/name_u]
[name_m]Boyer[/name_m]

A repeat, but my first thought was [name_u]Archer[/name_u]. I actually know a little [name_u]Archer[/name_u] that goes by [name_m]Archie[/name_m]!

Then I had a second cup of coffee and my brain kicked in a little more, and I think [name_m]Archie[/name_m] could work quite nicely for names containing ā€˜arc’.
E.g. [name_m]Barclay[/name_m], [name_m]Marc[/name_m] or [name_m]Marcus[/name_m].

I love [name_u]Archer[/name_u] with [name_m]Archie[/name_m] as a nickname!

[name_u]Archer[/name_u] & [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] come to mind. Seconding [name_u]Arrow[/name_u].

[name_m]Archibald[/name_m] - meaning ā€œtruly braveā€ is the only way I’d go. :slight_smile:

Maybe something like [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] [name_u]Charles[/name_u]

I know it’s quirky but I’ve always loved Archipelago!

I really like [name_u]Archer[/name_u] nn [name_m]Archie[/name_m]
