Almost all of these are extremely “posh” or “preppy” and certainly give off more of a British flair than an American one. Some are definitely more usable than others, but most would work on children and adults.

[name_m]Gatsby[/name_m]
Fieldings - gives me classic literature vibes. Like a classic author’s name. I don’t think there actually are any authors with this name (that I can think of off the top of my head) but it just gives me those vibes, like a giant cozy library.
Somerset - I don’t know why but for some reason the first thing that popped into my mind was a pop punk band…
Behringer - depends how you pronounce it… If it’s like Bear-rin-jer I think it has a super cool sound, but I’m indifferent mostly.
[name_m]Armistead[/name_m] - reminds me of armistice, like war/army images
[name_m]Macallister[/name_m] - reminds me of Home Alone, so immediate vibes of cuddling up and watching classic [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] movies in front of a cozy fire
Halliard - super preppy
Ensor - reminds me of the name [name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_u]Rigby[/name_u] - definitely preppy sounding, I think it would be cuter as a girl name, Riggy or [name_m]Rigs[/name_m] are cute nicknames
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u] - reminds me of an artist for some reason, like someone who would have a huge art studio and would always be wearing overalls covered in paint
[name_m]Beaumont[/name_m] - gives me images of castles
[name_m]Forester[/name_m] - the obvious association is a forest
[name_m]Armon[/name_m] - not really sure for this one honestly
[name_m]Leopold[/name_m] - sounds like a knight to me, like during Arthurian times
[name_m]Rodion[/name_m] - I’m a big fan of the name [name_u]Rodin[/name_u], but adding the extra syllable kind of ruins it for me honestly, it sounds like a chemical or a medication or something to me
[name_m]Ensio[/name_m] - similar to Ensor, reminds me of [name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_u]Oberon[/name_u] - cool sounding word, but as a name I just can’t get over the [name_m]Ron[/name_m] sound at the end
Fillion - reminds me of a name out of [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings
[name_m]Alasdair[/name_m] - interesting new take on [name_m]Alistair[/name_m], reminds me of wizards
[name_m]Brigham[/name_m] - immediately associate it with [name_m]Brigham[/name_m] [name_m]Young[/name_m]
Balinor - also [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings vibes
[name_m]Gatsby[/name_m] - obvious immediate association is the Great [name_m]Gatsby[/name_m], so someone really classy but brooding
Most of these names sound like they are from a fantasy or sci-fi movie, in my opinion. They’re certainly cool but quite brave choices to actually use.
Getting wealthy vintage surname vibes from this list! I imagine this is what roll call sounds like at an exclusive British boarding school.
Hahaha I love that example.
