    Help with narrowing our boys list!

    We are due to have our bub in a couple of weeks.. We have three names picked that we just cant decide on....

    Aiden Marcus
    Oliver Marcus
    and Archie... (we think we need a different middle name as Archie Marcus sounds too much).

    Any comments would be appreciated.. Thanks,

    I like Archie and Aiden - i dont mind Archie Marcus!
    You could always wait and see what he looks like? Pick which one suits him more?

    Oliver Marcus flows more easily off the tongue. One thing that I think helps names flow is to alter the syllables per name. Oliver (3 syllables) and Marcus (2). Also alternate the vowel sound... I agree that Archie Marcus has too much of an "Arrr" sound about it.

    I like Oliver Marcus but must say I LOVE Archie, maybe with a 1 or 3 syllable middle name?

    I like Oliver, but then I like more traditional names for boys. Then Aiden (reminds me of sex and the city LOL) and lastly Archie...I don't really like Archie, sorry. It's a gorgeous *boys* name, but it's not really a man's name IMO.
