So my best friend [name]Amalia[/name] is having her first baby and just recently found out- it is a boy! She has a long list of boys names and asked me to post it on here to get some opinions on the names (so she can get an idea on how the names will be perceived outside of family and friends).
[name]Silas[/name] - vintage and quirky
[name]Angel[/name] - better for a girl
[name]Kieran[/name] - [name]Love[/name]
[name]Grayson[/name] - I prefer [name]Greyson[/name] but still nice
[name]Hunter[/name] - yuck! I know so many boys with this name, it is honestly at least 20 boys
[name]Luca[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Dorian[/name] - NMS!
[name]Houston[/name] - I like it well enough
[name]Lennox[/name] - NMS
[name]Rhys[/name] - I strongly prefer [name]Reece[/name] of [name]Reese[/name]
[name]Soren[/name] - NMS!
[name]Sparrow[/name] seems feminine but I guess it could be done
[name]Troy[/name] - I like it a lot
[name]Xavier[/name] - [name]Love[/name]
[name]Nolan[/name] - ok
[name]Ambrose[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Galileo[/name] - better left as a GP
[name]Callum[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name] [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Kai[/name] - its ok but it seems so unsubstantial to me
[name]Ryland[/name] - NMS
[name]Bryan[/name] - [name]Brian[/name] is better… a lot better
My favourites are [name]Hunter[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name]. They’re both a bit more modern and unique, but still not so out there that when people hear it, they think “What?!” I also like [name]Grayson[/name], [name]Callum[/name], and [name]Nolan[/name].
[name]Silas[/name] - [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Angel[/name] - Not really a fan TBH.
[name]Kieran[/name] - Like it.

[name]Kieran[/name] - like
[name]Grayson[/name] - not a huge fan, but I can see it on a boy

[name]Houston[/name] - no, all I can think of is [name]Texas[/name]
[name]Lennox[/name] - like the dinnerware? no

[name]Luca[/name], [name]Lennox[/name], [name]Soren[/name], [name]Troy[/name], [name]Xavier[/name], [name]Silas[/name] and [name]Rhys[/name] are definitely my favourite on the list!
[name]Amalia[/name] & [name]Soren[/name], [name]Amalia[/name] & [name]Silas[/name] would be awesome.
Least favourites are; [name]Angel[/name], [name]Dorian[/name], [name]Houston[/name], [name]Sparrow[/name] ([name]Nicole[/name] [name]Richie[/name]), [name]Ryland[/name] (madeup) and [name]Bryan[/name] (dated).
[name]Silas[/name] - Possibly my most hated legitimate boy’s name. I can’t understand its popularity.
[name]Angel[/name] - That’s alot to live up to.
[name]Kieran[/name] - I really like it.
[name]Grayson[/name] - OK, but pretty trendy
[name]Hunter[/name] - I really like this one too
[name]Luca[/name] - OK. I think it’s getting pretty popular but really depends on your region.
[name]Dorian[/name] - Like
[name]Houston[/name] - Only if they have a connection to the city, and only in the middle.
[name]Lennox[/name] - I like but think of [name]Lennox[/name] [name]Lewis[/name] but might be wierd if they aren’t fans of boxing
[name]Rhys[/name] - Like, especially this spelling
[name]Soren[/name] - Another name I hate. Can’t get by the “Sore” sound of the first syllable
[name]Sparrow[/name] - OK in the middle. I can’t imagine it as a first name on a grown man
[name]Troy[/name] - OK, but kind of boring compared to the rest of these
[name]Xavier[/name] - Really like, but maybe getting trendy
[name]Nolan[/name] - OK, I like the sound. It’s on a pretty steep popularity spike right now which may or may not bother them.
[name]Ambrose[/name] - Not my style. Sounds pretty nerdy to me.
[name]Galileo[/name] - [name]Love[/name] in theory, but may be hard to live with
[name]Callum[/name] - Like
[name]Kai[/name] - Like
[name]Ryland[/name] - OK, might be a bit unisex compared to most of these options
[name]Bryan[/name] - OK, pretty bland compared to some of the other options
[name]Silas[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Angel[/name]- too feminine
[name]Kieran[/name]- I want to like it but I can’t get passed the fact this is what people call me when mispronouncing my name (that and [name]Kristen[/name])
[name]Grayson[/name]- a bit trendy sounding
[name]Hunter[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name]!!
[name]Luca[/name]- a better version of [name]Lucas[/name] in my opinion- [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Dorian[/name]- very masculine but cute and boyish at the same time- I [name]LOVE[/name] it!
[name]Houston[/name]- [name]Texas[/name]
[name]Lennox[/name]- more like a last name than a first
[name]Rhys[/name]- I like the spelling but I don’t like the sound- if it was pronounced riss I would love it
[name]Soren[/name]- Sore is all I hear
[name]Sparrow[/name]- cute on a little boy but not on a grown man
[name]Troy[/name]- eh I could live with it
[name]Xavier[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name]
[name]Nolan[/name]- its ok
[name]Ambrose[/name]- eh it’s ok
[name]Galileo[/name]- ok
[name]Callum[/name]- like
[name]Kai[/name]- sounds like half a name- and the spelling is feminine to me
[name]Ryland[/name]- sounds feminine to me
[name]Bryan[/name]- to me it’s an old man name
