Archie Campbell Name



When my mum was pregnant with me, they knew they were having a boy, my dad used to ring my mum during the day when he had thought of another name. He had been to see one of his clients one day – his name was Archie McNair – dad called mum and said “what about Archie.”

I was born 7 weeks early. My parents had not decided on a name.
My Grand-dad wanted me to be named Lawrence after him.

It took 5 days for them to choose between Henry, Percy or Archie – dad chose.

Archie is a taken from Archibald which means true and bold, valuable.
It is a fairly common name in Scotland. Campbell- means someone who has a crooked mouth.

I would prefer Henry to Percy or Lawrence.

I think Archie is a cool Name

The Best Thing in The World What Has Happened TO Me

In New Zealand my dad and I used to go motor biking in the forest and farms. One day we went to the Waikato and we had lots of experiences motor biking.When we headed off I was going pretty fast and dad was behind me and there was a little hill coming up in front. It wasn’t a huge hill. I fell down the hill and put my hand out. I cried a lot because I thought that I had broke my arm. But it wasn’t broken. My elbow was dislocated and a man came and stopped to help us. He popped my elbow back into place. Dad said I looked very pale but didn’t cry when he did it. He said I was very brave. When he had popped my elbow back in it didn’t hurt anymore.My motorbike broke in the crash. A quad bike came to pick my bike and the ambulance came to get me. They took me to the car park. Then they said I had to go to the hospital and I went. They had to give me an x-ray and I had a cast put on for 6 weeks. Even though I was hurt I still like motor biking and am not afraid of them.
