Ok, DH and I have just found out that we are having a little boy. As we have being trying for a while, we think we are pretty set on the name...but just want some feedback in case we are a bit blinded by our own opinions! This is what we are thinking...

Archer Darcy Tex (surname)

Why?
  • well my maiden name was Bowman - and an 'Archer' is another term for a man that uses a bow (abstract I know but the baby will get DH's last name and I wanted some family connection to my name)...
  • Darcy after Les Darcy who was an Australian world champian boxer at the turn of last century and who stood up and refused to join the war effort (did not want to be the 'pin up boy' to enourage others to join and be killed), but ended up being killed at the front when he did eventually go (rather than choosing the soft - home base option - really good read if anyone is interested).
  • 'Tex' after the Australian singer/writer Tex Perkins - my husbands fav singer and songwriter...and besides it is what the baby is going to be called as a nick name so might as well make it formal!

So what do you think? Is it too over the top and will it cause our little man too much grief as he grows up...please post your honest opinions!

Thanks
FG
