BABY Archie was named after Meghan’s pet cat and a vintage US comic she used to collect, her pals believe.
The future Duchess of Sussex used to tell friends about her beloved moggie Archie, who ended up fat after being constantly fed frozen grapes.
They reckon the newborn’s name could be a nostalgic reference to the pet who was also adored by Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland, 62.
A former close friend said on Thursday night: “Doria rescued Archie and he became an important part of the household. Meghan loved playing with him and she was always talking about him to her friends.
“It’s no surprise she named her new baby Archie. She loved that cat.”

Other rumours say Archie the cat was named after Comic book Archie, (who was also a redhead, like Harry.)
"As for the origins of Archie the cat's name, it is believed that he was actually named after the comic book character. Apparently, Meghan and her estranged father Thomas Markle shared a hobby of collecting the comic books."

So it all ties in., lol.
Still... for a royal baby, they could have given him a name with a bit more gravity, and then called him Archie as a byname, or nickname, like his father is Henry, but called Harry.
