Edmar
Faramund *

I dislike:
Dankmar - dank is a word meaning "unpleasantly cool and humid" in English
Grimwald - don't like the 'grim' part
Hildebrand - too many feminine hild- names
Kunibert - looks strange to me
Ludger - just nms
Rodmar - just nms
Odmar - "odd"
Ottokar - just nms
Rutger - just nms
