Middle name for Archer

danib22 · December 28, 2012, 5:57pm

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in [name]April[/name]. We couldn’t be more excited! We have almost decided on using [name]Archer[/name] for the first name but I am struggling with a middle name. Here are our current options

[name]Archer[/name] [name]Reed[/name] (after a grandparent)
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Graham[/name] (my maiden name is [name]Ingram[/name]-does [name]Graham[/name] work to honor that???)
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] (just like the meaning)
[name]Archer[/name] [name]William[/name] (after a family member)
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Grant[/name] (I like, hubby not so much)

I want the middle name to be a little more classic since [name]Archer[/name] is uncommon especially where we live. Our last name is [name]Brown[/name]. Thanks!

I love both [name]Archer[/name] [name]Reed[/name] and [name]Archer[/name] [name]Graham[/name]. I think [name]Graham[/name] definitely honors [name]Ingram[/name].

I like [name]Archer[/name] [name]Reed[/name]! Also, [name]Archer[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] is nice.

Is there a reason you can’t use [name]Ingram[/name]? [name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingram[/name] [name]Brown[/name] would be quite handsome. If not [name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingram[/name], then my vote goes to [name]Archer[/name] [name]Samuel[/name].

I absolutely agree: [name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingram[/name] sounds great together! [name]Archer[/name] [name]William[/name] would probably be my second choice.

I agree. :).

I like [name]Archer[/name] [name]Reed[/name] best but they all sound good. I have an [name]Archer[/name] [name]Luke[/name].

They all work really well, but I like [name]Archer[/name] [name]Reed[/name] best.

I’m partial to [name]Archer[/name] [name]Samuel[/name] myself, but have to say… [name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingram[/name] [name]Brown[/name] has a great ring to it. It sounds so accomplished.

[name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingram[/name] [name]Reed[/name], [name]Reed[/name] is short so it fits in well too

I love [name]Archer[/name] [name]Reed[/name]! So handsome. [name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingram[/name] sounds great too, I don’t see why you couldn’t use that

In order of preference:
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingram[/name] ([name]Archer[/name] [name]Graham[/name] is nice but reminiscent of [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Graham[/name] [name]Bell[/name] with your LN. [name]Ingram[/name] is beautiful.)
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingmar[/name] (If you want a change from your maiden name, I think [name]Ingmar[/name] is a handsome option. Bergman fan here.)
[name]Archer[/name] [name]William[/name]

danib22 · December 31, 2012, 9:18am

Thanks for all the input! We are leaning toward [name]Archer[/name] [name]Reed[/name] or [name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingram[/name].

I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Archer[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] but my husband thinks [name]Rhys[/name] is misspelled and a girl name…Thanks [name]Reese[/name] Witherspoon.

They’re all great choices, don’t think you can go wrong with any of them to be honest.

My favourites are [name]Archer[/name] [name]William[/name] and [name]Archer[/name] [name]Ingram[/name].
