Archibald

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.

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.

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

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...

cant get passed "bald" part. how about archibold or archer

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.

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.

I really don't like this name. It just seems like a vegetable name to me. Choose Archer and nickname him Archie.
