I haven't read the whole thread but my partners cousin just had a boy and named him...

Archie (as in short for Archer but they just used the shortened version)

You wouldn't have problems with people spelling it wrong I don't think.
Not sure what nn you would get but like someone else said, they come from the strangest places hehe.

We're having the opposite problem we have a definate boys name but can't agree on any girls lol.
