I like the name Archie Harrison - it sounds like the name of a mid-20th-century playboy-pilot .....

As it happens:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48204592

Archie means "genuine", "bold" or "brave" - and is more popular in Britain than the US. It was originally a shortened form of Archibald but is now often used as a name on its own.

It was the 18th most-popular boy's name in England and Wales in 2017, with 2,803 baby boys called Archie that year, and has been in the top 50 consistently since 2003.

Harrison is slightly more popular than Archie in the US - although it's still more common in the UK, where it was ranked the 34th most-popular boy's name in 2017.

And, rather fittingly, Harrison - a name which was originally used as a surname - means "son of Harry".

The smartarse has now been sacked:

Danny Baker fired by BBC over royal baby chimp tweet

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48212693

The now deleted tweet, which has been circulated on social media, showed an image of a couple holding hands with a chimpanzee dressed in clothes with the caption: "Royal Baby leaves hospital".

The 5Live presenter was accused of mocking the duchess's racial heritage.

A BBC spokesperson said: "This was a serious error of judgment."
