Middle Names for Archie: 120+ Adorable Ideas

Archie is one of those names that makes people smile.

It comes from Archibald, which is Germanic and means “genuine and bold.” It has been in the top 50 in England and Wales consistently since 2003. And when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle named their son Archie Harrison in 2019, it jumped even further. I love that they kept it simple. Just Archie. No Archibald on the birth certificate. Just the nickname, standing confidently on its own.

Two syllables, ending on that bright -ee sound. The same issue as Lily and Daisy — middle names that also end in -ee can blur together. Archie Freddie. Archie Charlie. Both of those trip slightly. Beyond that, Archie is genuinely easy to pair because it is so warm and friendly. Almost anything works behind it.

Here are 121 of the best options.
