Archie & Eliza
I was just think about what would go nicely with Archie and i thought about Eliza.What do you think of:
Archie Stewart & Eliza Olive
OR
Archie Francis & Eliza Isobel
All the names are family names which is cool!
Archie = Great grandfather was Archibald nn Archie
Stewart= Great grandmothers maiden name, grandfathers name, brother and fathers middle names
Eliza = My cousins name
Olive= Great grandmothers name
Francis = Great grandfather's name
Isobel = My scottish Great-grandmothers name (spelling is important!)

I think Archie and Eliza make a great sib set. I think Archie Stewart and Eliza Isobel sound the best together.

LOVE them together, only I'd prefer more formal names with Archie and Eliza as nicknames. Of your combos, I like Archie Stewart and Eliza Olive the best.

I love both names. Archie is a lot of fun and cool, too, and Eliza is very stong and feminine. For combos, I like Archie Stewart and Eliza Olive

Archie sounds like a nn to me but Archibald sounds a bit stuffy. What about Stewart Francis or Stewart Archibald?I like Eliza Olive best. Isobel is lovely, but Isobel as well as Eliza is a form of Elizabeth.

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.
