I love effeminate names for boys, too. :b I really like Emile, though I never used to care for it. I'd never use it, though, because I'm sure people would mistake it for Emily (or a kre8tiv spelling of Emily) or tease him and call him Emily. :(

I don't think it's particularly effeminate. At any rate I dislike it ... the "meel" sound is very unattractive to me - I can only describe it as a whiney sound.

I think it would be ok for a boy if there weren't so many litle girls named Emily right now. It definitely has some teasing potential.

I like Emile. I don't necessarily think it sounds effeminate but I do think it looks effeminate, like a creative spelling of Emily.

Something with a Gaulic flourish to it sounds the most natural to me.
