Archie is much too nickname-y. While I don't care for Archibald, I prefer that as the formal name, with Archie as a nickname (yes, I've named one of my PP's Archibald, but I don't like it for a human being). If you simply must use Archie, then I suggest using it as the middle name (yet, I'd say the same thing for the Archibald). Sorry, but I don't care for Stewart or Francis, either.

I think Eliza is lovely! And, as always, I think all names work in a sibling set. Sorry, but I don't care for Olive, and I prefer the spelling Isabelle, but since it's a family spelling, then I can handle Isobel.

---

And, since the middle names are family names, I can stomach them all...just not Archie. I can see a 5-year-old with the name, but not a 30-year-old.

Anyway, I think Archie Stewart and Eliza Olive flow the best, but neither of the Eliza combos flow nicely.

Edit: Reworked a sentence.
