Leave fave: [name_u]Percy[/name_u]
I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Percy[/name_u] and my faves are [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_u]Ira[/name_u].
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] and [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] are tied for my favorite. I like the idea of [name_u]Percy[/name_u], but it definitely feels less substantial than your other ch
I voted for my favorite for you as [name_u]Percy[/name_u]. You like [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] and [name_u]Percy[/name_u], so I feel like there’s something about the way it sounds that really appeals to you. [name_u]Percy[/name_u] is historical without being too staid.
My least favorite is [name_u]Ira[/name_u] simply because I don’t care for it, but it’s a perfectly good, strong name.
I really dislike [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] and [name_u]Ira[/name_u] but I like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_u]Percy[/name_u] and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] a lot.
[name_u]Percy[/name_u] is my favourite, though I prefer it as short for [name_m]Percival[/name_m]. It feels the most handsome and gentlemanly.
My least favourite is [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]; it sounds rather harsh and boorish to me. (I also can’t get at [name_u]Ira[/name_u] at all but that’s due to a personal association.)
I like [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], [name_u]Percy[/name_u], and [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] best. Good luck!
I love [name_u]Ira[/name_u] & [name_u]Percy[/name_u] (I’ve come to really appreciate the latter in the past months) and [name_u]Ira[/name_u] is just special.
I like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].
I’m not a huge fan of [name_m]Reuben[/name_m].
I also adore [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] but as I said in the other thread, I don’t love it on a modern boy, it doesn’t have the same charm to me as 1940s [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m].
I love [name_u]Percy[/name_u], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]! all three are so sweet and handsome.
my least favorite is [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], I’ve never been a big fan of it.
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m]: [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]
Least favorite: rueben bc it reminds me of the subway sandwich
Absolute favorite is [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]! I love it! I also voted for [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], and I really don’t like the others. But [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], I say go for it!
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] is far and away my favorite! I also like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. [name_u]Percy[/name_u] is probably my least favorite.
My favorites are [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. I don’t like [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] - it’s a sandwich to me 
[name_f]Susan[/name_f]
My favorite is [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and my least favorite is [name_m]Reuben[/name_m].
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is by far my favorite - charming name, definitely fit for a gentleman. [name_u]Percy[/name_u] is my least favorite; I can’t shake the wimp vibe I get from it. [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] has never been a favorite of mine, but it seems to be very well liked among people on here and people I know in the real world.
I like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] the best and I DEFINITELY like [name_u]Percy[/name_u] the LEAST.
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m] is [name_u]Ira[/name_u], least favorite is [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].
I like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] or [name_m]Edwin[/name_m]/[name_m]Edmund[/name_m].
Not a fan of [name_u]Percy[/name_u].
Ha! I just answered your girl name poll because my daughter’s name is on it and here I am on the boys with my son’s name on it! We have similar taste.
I voted [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]. He’s my first born and his name was picked for the meaning. He’s [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Saul[/name_m] “behold a son” and “wanted/prayed for”. I’d never met or had a [name_m]Reuben[/name_m] in the school I taught at but in [name_f]England[/name_f] where we lived the name just entered the top 100 the year he was born and has been climbing slowly ever since. So other people like it too. We are living in Australia now and I have yet to meet another [name_m]Reuben[/name_m]. Also in the U.K. and Australia the sandwich isn’t an issue.
I like [name_u]Percy[/name_u] too but as a shortening of [name_m]Perseus[/name_m]. A baby [name_u]Percy[/name_u] goes to my mothers group…his daddy is a cricket fan. This name is very tied to [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] the tank Engine but that’s not a bad thing.
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is very handsome. Reminds me of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f].
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] is cool. The “zzzz” sound is great.
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] is one I don’t like…sorry. I think it’s because it reminds me of the word irate. It just seems abrupt.
Like your girl choices, I don’t think you can go wrong with these names.
Good luck.
