I love, love, love the names Madelyn, Patrick, Zander (though, I much prefer the Xander spelling), and Ethan; I also enjoy the names Steven, Benjamin, Evelyn, Paige, Connor, and Sasha. I could get behind Kamryn, but I much prefer the Cameron and Camryn spellings!

Adelynne - too ornate; Adeline is better
Asa - short, abrupt, fringe biblical ... nope
Benjamin - excellent
Blaine - like a merger between Blame and Plain; also, just another lnfn
Connor - yet another lnfn, and to con = to cheat
Dayton - Ditch Town, eh? Really?
Ethan - fringe biblical; fashionable -an ending; OKish
Evelyn - excellent; shortens pleasantly to Eve; strictly female
Finn - and his sister Gill? Too fishy
Grayson - lnfn once more; who wants a son who is grey?
Jamison - Jameson is preferable but neither is good
Jensen - Jens is preferable
Kamryn - whatever happened to poor, unfortunate Cameron?
Lincoln - lnfns, here we go again
Madelyn - her parents' name choice Made Lyn a cliche
Paige - either part of a book or a young knight-in-training; either way, what's the -i- doing there?
Patrick - excellent, classic
Sasha - gender neutral, which is fine; nickname, which isn't
Steven - the epitome of dumbing-down. Stephen is excellent
Winston - too canine
Zander - OK as a nn for Alexander, but awful as a full name

Adelynne - I'm not sure how it's meant to be pronounced, but I don't like the spelling regardless. I like Adeline or Adelin / Adelyn depending on the pronunciation.
Asa - Too short
Benjamin - It's pretty good but I like Ben a lot more than the full Benjamin.
Blaine - Bad, sounds slimy
Connor - It's fine but I vastly prefer Conor
Dayton - Ohio. Not the worst place name though. Day is a good nickname
Ethan - I like this
Evelyn - I know it's popular now but I still think it sounds dated. Not bad
Finn - Pretty good
Grayson - Alright
Jamison - Not bad but I prefer the look of Jameson
Jensen - Okay
Kamryn - I don't like this but I like Cameron
Lincoln - Not namey enough
Madelyn - Okay (I prefer Madeline but if you want to pronounce it with "lin" then Madelyn is the way to go)
Paige - A millenial wearing uggs and drinking a pumpkin spice latte
Patrick - It's okay but I don't really like the "trick" part. In my accent it always sounds like Pa-trick. It gets shortened to Pat or Rick but when you say the full name "trick" is what jumps out.
Sasha - Pretty good
Steven - Okay, it's definitely "just some guy" but it's one of the better "just some guy" names.
Winston - Okay but it sounds like a dog to me
Zander - Pretty good

Adelynne - I prefer Adeline's pronunciation and look. This has too many unneeded letters.
Asa - I'm guessing you're referring to the Hebrew name. The English pronunciation sounds girly to me. AH-SUH would make more sense.
Benjamin - Decent name but not a favorite of mine.
Blaine - I prefer Blaise. It's better than Blainley.
Connor - I've always liked this name. It sounds smart.
Dayton - It sounds youthful and old fashioned at the same time. It's okay.
Ethan- I really, really like this name. It's not too soft.
Evelyn - I love EH-vuh-lin, and dislike EEV-lin.
Finn - I don't really understand the appeal.
Grayson - I think it's neat and could work in a professional setting.
Jamison - Its decent but I would prefer Jameson (said like James but with sen) or simply James.
Jensen - I like it, it sounds smart like Connor but also kind of badass.
Kamryn - I prefer Cameron for both genders.
Lincoln - Very respectable and polite-sounding.
Madelyn - Prefer Madeline, but it's not a bad spelling.
Paige - I prefer Page, but it's still pretty.
Patrick - I don't care for it, or its feminine counterpart Patricia. It doesn't even have good nicknames.
Sasha - I don't care for the name. I don't like it on men, but it's not particularly feminine either.
Steven - Kind of dull, but I can understand the appeal of Stefan at least.
Winston - It sounds nerdy and sweet. I've always liked it.
Zander - I like this more than Alexander because its more modern and fun.

I like Benjamin, Ethan, Evelyn, Jamison, Lincoln, Patrick, Steven
