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.
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!
