I like a lot of the names on your list!

[name]Rhys[/name]: I really like this!
[name]Seth[/name]: I’ve never really been a fan…
[name]Eli[/name]: I love it, especially as a nickname for [name]Elias[/name].
[name]Gabriel[/name]: This one is nice, too!
[name]Dylan[/name]: Seems really dated…
[name]Harrison[/name]: It’s handsome, but I don’t really like surnames as first names.
[name]Liam[/name]: I really like it, but I prefer it as a nickname for [name]William[/name]
[name]Zane[/name]: Sounds trendy/dated/made up
[name]Lev[/name]: It seems just a little insubstantial.
[name]Kai[/name]: I like it, but it seems to be getting popular.
[name]Milo[/name]: I really like it, but it’s my cat’s name, so I can’t imagine it on a kid!
[name]Beau[/name]: Not a fan of word names…
[name]Roman[/name]: I just think of the adjective ‘roman’
[name]Rocky[/name]: This doesn’t fit at all with your list. I really don’t like it.
[name]Asher[/name]: I like it, and it has a great meaning, but it’s a little trendy.
[name]Zachary[/name]: Handsome, but slightly dated.
[name]Striker[/name]: Why would you want to call your child to strike people?
[name]Archer[/name]: Not a fan of surnames…

My favorites are [name]Liam[/name], [name]Asher[/name], and [name]Eli[/name].

[name]Lulu[/name]: Such a cute nickname for [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], but not on its own.
[name]Pandora[/name]: Really pretty, but way too associated with the myth.
[name]Scarlet[/name]: I don’t like the associations.
[name]Liliana[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] it! The only downfall is that the [name]Lily[/name] names are so popular.
[name]Isis[/name]: Not a fan
[name]Daisy[/name]: I love it, as a nickname for [name]Margaret[/name]…
[name]Beatrice[/name]: Very nice
[name]Aurora[/name]: For me, it’s hard to pronounce, but it’s a gorgeous name!
[name]Mattea[/name]: I love it, and I also love [name]Matteo[/name] for a boy
[name]Gia[/name]: A little too nicknamey-- what about [name]Gianna[/name]/[name]Giovanna[/name] nn [name]Gia[/name]?
[name]Amelie[/name]: Gorgeous! I love it!
[name]Pearl[/name]: Very cute.
[name]Annabel[/name]: One of my favorite names!
[name]Grace[/name]: Too popular too me.
[name]Isla[/name]: It’s so pretty, but set to become very popular

I love [name]Liliana[/name], [name]Amelie[/name], and [name]Annabel[/name], but most of them are lovely!

What about:

[name]Arlo[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Charles[/name]

[name]Lucky[/name] you – to get a positive AND to have a boyfriend willing to talk names! With mine, it’s like pulling teeth sometimes! Congrats!

As for your names, I will try to comment on each one. You have some very stunning choices.

[name]Rhys[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this, great spelling, though the [name]Reece[/name] v. [name]Rice[/name] pron. issue will always be present.
[name]Seth[/name] - I love [name]Seth[/name] also, but it doesn’t have the best meaning, IIRC
[name]Eli[/name] - This is too short to be a formal name, [name]IMO[/name].
[name]Gabriel[/name] - This name is my style, I SHOULD love it, but I don’t. Since it starts with the sound [name]GAY[/name]- and ends with -briel which seems so feminine to me, it just is not a strong choice.
[name]Dylan[/name] - Cute, but very Tryndee right now.
[name]Harrison[/name] - I think this is a strong choice, “now” without being tryndee, and formal while still having [name]Sonny[/name] and [name]Harry[/name] as approachable NNs.
[name]Liam[/name] - Bad associations for me.
[name]Zane[/name] - As a general rule, I think names starting with ‘Z’ look like they are trying too hard. [name]Dane[/name]?
[name]Lev[/name] - Again, VERY bad association with a little boy on my part.
[name]Kai[/name] - Handsome and strong, but see [name]Eli[/name]. [name]Malakai[/name]/[name]Malachi[/name]?
[name]Milo[/name] - I do like this, but compared to your other choices, it’s very “soft”
[name]Beau[/name] - See [name]Milo[/name]
[name]Roman[/name] - This is a great name, but I fear he would get “[name]Manny[/name]”, which I hate.
[name]Rocky[/name] - Sounds like you’re trying too hard.
[name]Asher[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Asher[/name]!
[name]Zachary[/name] - It’s never been a favorite of mine, too common.
[name]Striker[/name] - Trying [name]WAY[/name] too hard. Perhaps the more familiar Strider, via Aragorn from LOTR?
[name]Archer[/name] - I like this, but not enough to use it myself.

Suggestions: [name]Tanner[/name], [name]Fletcher[/name], Ender, [name]Max[/name], [name]Malachi[/name]/[name]Malakai[/name], [name]Elias[/name], [name]Elijah[/name], [name]Jack[/name].

[name]Lulu[/name] - I love this as a NN for [name]Luella[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], et c.
[name]Pandora[/name] - I may be in the minority here, but I love [name]Pandora[/name]. I’ve been searching for the perfect ‘[name]Pan[/name]-’ name ever since reading the His Dark Materials series. [name]Panya[/name]?
[name]Scarlet[/name] - I like this, but prefer [name]Scarlett[/name].
[name]Liliana[/name] - Much better than [name]Lillian[/name] or [name]Lily[/name], with an accessible NN.
[name]Isis[/name] - Trying too hard.
[name]Daisy[/name] - I know a [name]Daisy[/name], she hates her name.
[name]Beatrice[/name] - I prefer the lesser-used [name]Beatrix[/name], for sound and appeal.
[name]Aurora[/name] - Like, but is growing very common.
[name]Mattea[/name] - This is just okay for me.
[name]Gia[/name] - Dislike.
[name]Amelie[/name] - The true pron. is [name]Ah[/name]-may-lee, but she will get A-mee-lee or Ay-muh-lee, and also [name]Amelia[/name], all the time.
[name]Pearl[/name] - Sweet, simple, and elegant. DEFINITE thumbs up. As a by-the-by, the name [name]Lulu[/name] is Arabic for [name]Pearl[/name]… [name]Pearl[/name] NN [name]Lulu[/name] could work.
[name]Annabel[/name] - Very sweet and timeless, but is growing in popularity.
[name]Grace[/name] - There are many better virtue names.
[name]Isla[/name] - I see this getting to [name]Ava[/name] status soon.

Suggestions: [name]Luella[/name], [name]Panya[/name], [name]Isadore[/name], [name]Beatrix[/name]/[name]Bellatrix[/name], [name]Vera[/name] (VEE-rah)
