    Che, while completely awesome as a name, is no good. Too much CH-CH sound. But, ummm, can I have it?
    Earl is great. Nick Cave's son is Earl.
    Thomas rolls soooo well, depending on how much S there is in your surname. Probly my fave.
    Daniel flows quite well, but for the reason you've posted I'm reluctant to use it.
    Ryan... meh. Sounds nice enough, but I'm ambivalent on it.
    George, although a great name, is not high on my list. I don't like the CH and G/J sound together.

    That's what I think.

    Thanks for your help ladies.

    Che, yes, we would pronounce it like "Che Guevara" cause we both like the namesake. But when I typed it out the first thing I noticed was the "ch" repeating in Archie and Che. Audax, I would love it if someone got some use out of it, so it's all yours!

    Thomas - I couldn't find any google listing for a footy player called Archie Thomas, but I like the sound of it.

    William - was on our original list for first names but DH vetoed it. Same goes for Oliver, which I love but DH doesn't. Oh, and I suggested Luke, but my new 2w/o nephew is Lucas. And we have a James J(surname) in our family already!

    And Earl - I've told DH that if he feels connected to it, then we will use it. He's a bit ambivalent because he doesn't like using a name because it's been used in the family. I know his parents would be stoked if we used it. I'm leaving this one up to DH, I personally think Earl is quite cute.

    Ironically, after reading your posts to DH, I think he's coming back to Archie George . No doubt once he's born we'll be inspired.

    Thanks again ladies.

    We're going with DH's first name as the middle name... its a family tradition, one DH was keen to keep. So I have the opposite problem to you hun - no first name but middle name is set!

    I do like Archie Thomas, just seems to work. Archie Earl is quite nice too!

    Good luck and can't wait to see your BA - I've been thinking about you!
