In drunken discussions with girlfriends before he and I had even had our first date, one of my nearest & dearest came out with the following taboos: Joe (therefore, any male or female name that can be shortened as such, eg. Joseph, Josephine, Joanne/a, etc.) Leigh/Lee Wayne Fay Mark ... there were others, and my gems to add were Burger & Donut (well, in my defence, we had been drinking...) :-) I can add to Ren’s Lee/Leigh King *groan* factor, as my man also has the surname ‘King’.

So, I was very pleased on this random pop-in to see this discussion... Archer and Kenndey - v. nice! I know an ‘Archer’ and an ‘Archie’ [sic], and, by far, prefer Archer.

Archer is from left field, but I think you've hit a bullseye with that one (groan). And as for Lee/Leigh King, Ren, I would like to have a daughter and name her Skye. However, my own surname is Walker and my wife doesn't think it is suitable. I sort of see her point, but I still like it. We’ve got Patrick, Angus and Owen (in that order). After Patrick we’d spent our boy name. A friend of mine mentioned Angus and I thought ‘wow’, but my wife thought ‘ho-hum’. So I put it on the whiteboard on the front of the fridge and subliminally each time she went to fridge she was coming around! Noice. I reckon the names are great.

Archer Malloy is a nice, strong, unusual but not bizarre name. Not that it matters, but a big thumbs up from me :-) Like Ren, Kennedy is growing on me too. Archer and Kennedy are very nicely complementary twin names too, and that's important. Phoebe, Albert, Kennedy, Archer. No-one could ever call your family commonplace!

Good good good names. Love Archer, love Kennedy. Congrats on the equal allocation! At least they won't be able to pull any swapsies tricks on you later on. Good. Good good good names.

They are your children and you have to like the names. In the end names grow on people and no matter how you spell their names they/you will always get - How do you spell that? Glad that you have the hardest part done - it really is quite a big decision. Veronica Good strong names - Not that it really matters what we think.

"naaaaaaaaaah". My head goes straight to characters out of Tolkien or in WoW. I'm picturing elves. Elves is not a good thing. Archibald is very old school though, definitely agree with you there. But at least you're spelling it correctly. You could go the whole "Archah" , or Archar, or Ahcharr bit. Or stick a "y" in there somewhere. Really, people are doing that a lot, lately. I like Harry. Harry Malloy. Has a nice ring to it. Might change my name to Malloy so I can have a Harry. I'm still pissed that I can't name any of my children Lee/Leigh, especially if I marry the manbeast. Leigh King. Not good. Sorry for the ramble. Whilst Kennedy has grown on me (rather like Phoenix has), Archer is a bit… “naaaaaaaaaah”. My head goes straight to characters out of Tolkien or in WoW.
