@Doghouse Riley Thank you for correcting me. I apologize for this terrible error! Forgive me for not being spot on! I feel like I have trolled this discussion with technically inaccurate information ... But I bet his Mum called him Archie....
Maybe one of my early childhood books will now become popular again, anybody remember the adventures of Archie Acorn, Cuthbert Conker, Malcolm Mushroom, Clara Catterpillar, etc.?
and don't forget Scrungee Sculpit, Michael Mantis , Vince Veronica Cauliflower, Sheal Shepherd's Purse, Roders Radicchio,Pete the Potato (head?), Elaine Endive, Lori Lettuce and so on... would make a good GC for kids chapter
"Oh Judy, Judy, Judy!" Don't put yourself down. It wan't a correction. I gave his full name. Yes, we can assume his mum called him "Archie,"
I remember the Archie Acorn series of books from the 1950's, great stuff. Also remember the US comic strip Archie that Redstar mentioned.
Oh you posh young people with childhood memories in colour, and with Characters with names! In my younger years our Legos were not that sophisticated and the characters were pine cones with twigs for limbs. But back towards the topic, Archie is surprising, but it's growing on me. Plain, no-nonsense fun name. It could have been Apple Pit Soho or Half Past Seven.
