its a deceptively cool name and is absolutely ready for a comeback. The nickname ARCHIE is likely going to more popular, but both are ready to spike in popularity. I like it. In fact Id consider it. Has a kind of both old fashioned cool and nostalgia as well as being unlike most any other name.

GenEric Says:
You know, if you pronounce the archi and bald closely together, it sounds kind of nice. The issue is, most people would not.

ImNotAnEmotionsMan Says:
My grandfathers name was Archibald with nn Art and Artie. I find it to be a bit too stuffy for my tastes but I do think a cute nn like Art/Archie, Arrie, or Al would help soften it a bit. Discounting this strong name with a nice meaning just because of the bald ending is like hating Richard bc it has hard in it; rather unfortunate I must say...

Francoamericano Says:

Impwood Says:
Archibald is very winsome when you picture it on a small boy, but I don't think I'll ever be able to like Archie.

RoddyThlayli Says:
No offense to anyone who like/is named Archibald but to me, it's like Gertrude, to me, which is to say, very ugly. Besides, who wants to put 'bald' in their child's name?

I remember when I moved schools in year 1, and my teachers name was Mrs Archibald. I made fun of her name when I found out, but felt bad after because she was a really kind teacher.

MaryKathryn Says:
I really don't like this name. It just seems like a vegetable name to me. Choose Archer and nickname him Archie.
My first son is gonna either be named Thaddeus, Cornelius or Archibald. I have always loved these names because they sound very polite, dignified, and noble; how I want my children to be.
