So this may be an unpopular opinion, but I love feminine or softer names for boys such as Mckenzie, Noah, Brooks and Ariel. How do you feel about this? If you like these kinds of names, what are your favorites?

I love softer boy names too, but I have to say that all of the ones you’ve listed strike me as definitively masculine, with the possible exception of [name_u]Mckenzie[/name_u], which feels pretty unisex. [name_u]Brooks[/name_u] is a strong, rugged, cowboy-cool kind of name to me, not particularly soft!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite boy name is [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], which I think qualifies. I loooove it for a boy, like it a lot for a girl too but it definitely has my heart mainly as a male name 
[name_u]Rafa[/name_u] is also gorgeous @Johannaa and I have [name_m]Rua[/name_m] on my list too, in a similar vein.

Yeah, I guess it’s up to interpretation since names continue to become more unisex. [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] is a very cool name! I actually know a guy named [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]!

Agree! [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_m]Lucien[/name_m], [name_u]Florian[/name_u], [name_m]Fabian[/name_m], [name_u]Ellery[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_m]Tolly[/name_m], [name_u]Asher[/name_u], [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] etc are some of the ambiguous names i like.
And although squarely masculine I like names with soft sounds like [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], [name_m]Phineas[/name_m], [name_u]Seth[/name_u], [name_m]Finlo[/name_m], etc

[name_f]My[/name_f] brother has a boy named [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] in his class (pronounced Ev-uh-lyn though). It was still so sweet to finally see it on a boy!

The names you listed are originally masculine. A lot of the names being suggested were originally masculine names.
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] was originally a boy’s name.
I know but the topic says “girl” names or softer boy names. [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], in my opinion, is definitely a soft sounding boy name, like many that I listed
