I just love Basil :) As a whole name and all the nicknames I've ever heard are awesome

1. Isaac
2. Basil, Philippe

---

Isaac is the most classic in my cultural context. Basil sounds old-fashioned in a way that's similar to Cecil and Ambrose. Philip would be much more expected than Philippe where I live, but Philippe is recognizable, and I like both forms. Olivier is ok, but I don't like the vyeh ending that much.

Basil
Philippe
Isaac
Olivier

1. Olivier. Classic and timeless.

---

2. Philippe. I would put it in the same category as Olivier (names that are classic and used by many generations)

---

3. Isaac. It has rose into use in the French-speaking world in the last 20 years, but I think it's an ok name.

---

4. Basil. Not my style.

Isaac
Philippe
Olivier
Basil

1 Olivier
2 Isaac
3 Basil
4 Philppe

Isaac

Basil, then Isaac!

Basil.

Isaac > Olivier > Philippe > Basil

---

I don't get the appeal of Basil.

Basil, easily.

Olivier > Isaac > Basil > Philippe

---

I like Olivier best, Isaac is okay. I'm not sure about Basil, so I put it after Isaac, but I might like it more?
