[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Nice list!

Here are my thoughts-

[name_m]Calum[/name_m]-I love it. And I love this spelling. It looks sleeker, & makes more sense if you want to use the nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u]. [name_m]Calum[/name_m] is one of those names that’s sporty, outdoorsy, smart & very masculine yet gentle at the same time.

[name_m]Fraser[/name_m]-It’s growing on me. I think I have a hard time getting past [name_u]Kelsey[/name_u] Grammer. He’s not bad…it’s just a strong association. I’m guessing that’s not an issue for younger people though. It’s unique & has a posh British vibe. I think that’s pretty cute.

[name_m]Clive[/name_m]-Very cool choice. I rarely see this on lists, but often suggest it. It has a fresh, simple approachable feel. And also a hint of cowboy-ness. It’s super unique, but not at all complicated.

[name_m]Brogan[/name_m]-I’m not a fan of this one. That ‘bro’ beginning just isn’t that appealing to me.

[name_m]Gareth[/name_m]-Fun! This is very different, yet doesn’t sound too out there. It’s strong & masculine, but also has a gentle vibe.

[name_m]Rogan[/name_m]-I quite like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] & [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], but can’t get into this one. It has a really strong association w/Joe [name_m]Rogan[/name_m]. Who is fine…just has a very macho feeling that I don’t personally care for.

[name_m]Steen[/name_m]-Hm. This doesn’t have a super pleasant sound in my opinion.

[name_m]Ferris[/name_m]-Ooh, I like this one! It’s like [name_m]Fraser[/name_m], but less snooty & more cool. Maybe that’s thanks to [name_m]Ferris[/name_m] [name_m]Bueller[/name_m].

[name_u]Sterling[/name_u]-I kind of like this. This spelling looks much nicer in my opinion. It’s interesting.

A few suggestions that you may like-

[name_u]Alden[/name_u]

[name_u]Brennan[/name_u]

[name_m]Cullen[/name_m]

[name_m]Desmond[/name_m]

[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]

[name_m]Fergus[/name_m]

[name_m]Hamish[/name_m]

[name_m]Knox[/name_m]

[name_m]Lachlan[/name_m]

[name_m]Magnus[/name_m]

[name_u]Niall[/name_u]

[name_u]Rafe[/name_u]

[name_m]Thatcher[/name_m]

[name_u]Wilder[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.

Nms but it has nice sounds. You might like [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] or [name_u]Keegan[/name_u]

Gorgeous names !
I like [name_m]Callum[/name_m] nn [name_u]Cal[/name_u] for spelling! I have a soft spot for [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] because I do not know any, so it gets 10000points for being unique recognizable and not too out there and unheard of

I used to love [name_m]Brogan[/name_m] ! However a restaurant we frequent has named their all meat poutine [name_m]Brogan[/name_m] and now my association is all meat. I do like [name_m]Rogan[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Rohan[/name_u]

Sterling is lovely!!! I think this might be my favourite.

You might like the similar:

[name_m]Forrest[/name_m]

Hope my 2 cents helps!

From favorite to least favorite:

Callum/Calum: love [name_m]Callum[/name_m]! I like the double “ll” spelling better, it looks more complete to me. [name_m]Calum[/name_m] makes me want to say kay-lum.
Sterling/Stirling: fun name! I think the [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] spelling would be more straightforward
Gareth: not a huge fan of -th endings, so I’d prefer [name_m]Garrett[/name_m], but otherwise a nice name
Rogan: I like the name itself, but not a fan of the association with [name_m]Joe[/name_m] [name_m]Rogan[/name_m]
Fraser: feels a bit outdated because of the TV show
Clive: also a little dated
Steen: makes me think of sturgeon for some reason
Ferris: dated and too tied to [name_m]Ferris[/name_m] [name_m]Bueller[/name_m]
Brogan: too bro-y

Suggestions:
[name_m]Callan[/name_m]
[name_m]Clyde[/name_m]
[name_m]Garth[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_m]Roman[/name_m]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_u]Steele[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_u]Seth[/name_u]
