I like [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_m]Joel[/name_m], [name_u]Noel[/name_u], and [name_m]Nolan[/name_m].

[name_m]Cole[/name_m] is more liked than [name_m]Lowell[/name_m]?

I think of Old [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m] and [name_m]Cole[/name_m] [name_u]Porter[/name_u] and [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] [name_m]Cole[/name_m].

[name_m]Lowell[/name_m] I think of poets and professors and good-looking intellectuals.

Maybe I just answered my own question!

I voted for [name_m]Cole[/name_m], [name_m]Joel[/name_m], & [name_u]Noel[/name_u]. I have a personal bad association with [name_m]Lowell[/name_m], which prevents me from liking the name. Nothing against the name itself, I suppose.

[name_m]Roland[/name_m] is old-fashioned yet snazzy, I like it.

I think Lol is just a nn for [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u]. I only really like [name_m]Cole[/name_m] and [name_m]Nolan[/name_m]. I like [name_m]Roland[/name_m] in an ‘eccentric but would never use’ kind of way.
