Chinese names for English names

Archer in Chinese: 阿彻 or a real Chinese name?

A lot of people look up their English name in Chinese and find only a sound-based transliteration, then assume that is the best choice. For Archer, 阿彻 is correct for labeling the foreign name, but it does not feel like a natural Chinese given name. A good Chinese name should sound smooth to native speakers, fit a male style, and carry a meaning people would actually admire. For Archer, the best choices suggest steadiness, skill, drive, or quiet strength rather than copying the sound too literally.
