I will bet a dollar to a donut, Archie will be a name that will be on the upswing now
I'm pretty sure it won't be.....LOL No one would be so cruel as to saddle their son with that name. It's a silly name that brings up images of the comic book to those of us who are old enough to remember that or Archie Bunker...LOL It is possible that people under the age of 40 have never never heard of it.

And who is to decide what a "nice name" is??
@jonbonApparently any poster here.
The baby will be who he is; identified by how he grows and what he will contribute as a man in this world. The name will not change that fact. At all.
All names have nice meanings, btw.
And as he grows into a fine young man, people will start to associate the name Archie with fine young men.

I would never name a child Archie when there are so many nice sounding names for boys to choose from. I guess it won't bother him though, small price to pay for all the fame, wealth and privilege that awaits him. Really cute baby.

@blackhole99 You've summed this all up beautifully.

Archibald means truly brave. Archie is a diminutive nickname that derives from Archibald, but in and of itself it doesn't mean anything.
My grandfather is English and his name is Archibald. He was called, "Arch" all of his life.

@blackhole99 Too bad they didn't ask you to name their baby.
A "small price to pay"? The baby isn't a week old yet and already people are predicting doom and gloom in his future because his name is Archie.

It wouldn't have mattered what she named the baby @Cakers3 Those that dislike Meghan would have picked it apart no matter what name she chose

Meghan looks radiant and Harry is beaming while holding his son, what a happy, happy time for the royal family. Maybe they will come up with a cute nickname for baby so he doesn’t have to called Archie.
When he is older other children who are playing with him will shorten the name and call him, "Hey Arch, catch the ball." Isn't that what they do here in America, always shortening people's names?
