I voted for Julian, because I think it sounds the nicest next to Archie. I think if you used the nn Chaz for Charles, then that would be perfect. Charles and Henry are just too plain next to Archie. Finlay would work, but it doesn't sound good next to Archie as they both end in the same sound. Archie and August/Angus nn Gus would be great IMO, but I really like Charles, only with the nn Chaz. Julian is nice as well.

Hi,

I love Archie! And your other names are great, too. Are you in the UK? Those names seem very Brit...everyone on the other name board (http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-psbabynames) will love your names- and I think you'll find a tonne of support for Finlay/Finn as a brother for Archie.

If Archie is his full given name, I'd probably lean towards Finn, but if Archie is short for Archibald (or Archer?), then Finlay for sure :P

I voted for Charles Augustus, with the possible nn Charlie I think it's the best match with Archie. Is Archie a nn or the full fn? Charles is a fine name on it's own and I love Augustus as a mn. The only name on your list that I don't care for is Julian, for me it's to girly sounding. Before anyone sends posts to disagree it's just my opinion and I do know it is a boys name. I do like all of the other names you have listed. Good luck deciding.
