    Question your thoughts on these two names together?

    Well we have just found out we will be having another boy & I thought right away YAY.....Archie it is!!!! DH loves the name & so do I....it's always been talked about.

    Anywho a close friend asked about names & I wasn't going to say anything but she lives in another state so thought what the heck....she's a good mate. WELL () she also speaks her mind LOL. And mentioned it's a bit of a tounge tie with DS name Charlie. We did think about it at first & have thought about Archer.

    So I thought I value the opinions of you guys on BB. What do you think of Charlie & Archie? I think they go together as in older style names....but now I'm wondering do they sound too similar. Should we go with Archer, or last on the list Oscar. Oh now I don't know.

    My sister's name and mine both end in the ie sound, it's never caused any issues. Go with what you want and don't listen to anyone else.

    I think they sound great together!! 'Charlie and Archie stop doing that!' has a nice ring to it

    I do like Archer as a compromise, you coud always call him Archie as a nickname...

    Hope that helps

    I love them together too, I don't think they sound odd or confusing at all!

    It's not like you're going to say their names together too often - I know it seems like that, but with one I used his name, now I have two, it's 'the boys'. I'm too lazy to say two full names together when I can say 'the boys'.

    They fit in nicely with each other though, style wise.

    I agree with the others....I actually think Archer and Charlie are actually harder to say together. Nelle's right, rarely do you say the two name together....

    Thanks for all the replies everyone, Archie it is!!!!

    I know I shouldn't have said anything LOL.....I hate it when someone talks you into something then goes ahead to "knock you down" grrrrrr - I've learnt my lesson. I will not be telling my Mum that's for sure!!!!
