  1. We love that Archibald is rare and stately, and absolutely adore the nickname “Archie.” We felt that we needed to go with the strong, original root name of “Archibald” instead of cutting corners and going for “Archer” or “Archie” by itself–but totally respect those who decide differently! The meaning of Archibald–“genuine and bold”, or “truly brave” sold us on this name!

  2. Archibald is an old family name we found in our family tree. We loved that it was recognizable but not too common, the nickname “Archie” is super cute, and that it means “genuine and bold”.
