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
