Would names ending in "er" conflict w/ middle name Richard?

Boy Names

My husband and I have decided to use the middle name [name]Richard[/name] for our baby b/c it is the name of my deceased father and his living one. I don’t [name]LOVE[/name] the name (much too traditional for my taste), but it’s really important to honor my dad, and it’s great that it’s my husband’s father’s name, too. That being said, there are a few names we like ending in “er,” but I don’t know if I should rule them out b/c they run into [name]Richard[/name] in an awkward manner. We have other names we like, but two of these are really high on my list of faves.

[name]Archer[/name] [name]Richard[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Richard[/name]
[name]Wilder[/name] [name]Richard[/name]

A name ending in -er does sort of disrupt the flow of the name, but not enough to throw names out. [name]Archer[/name] [name]Richard[/name] sounds really good, and they both have the -ch and -er sound. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.

Not unless you will be saying first and middle name together often.
