Achilles - It is commected too much with myths, IMHO
Ajax - as above
Amadeus - A Greek name? I associate it with Mozart, but it is not as bad as Achilles and Ajax.
Callistus - Prefer Calla or Callisto, but Callistus is nice as well.
Chrysanthos - Sounds too flowerly for a boy, like Florian.
Chryses - No emotions
Kallikrates - Eww, I have nothing against it, I suppose...
