Archibald is neat, though as much as I've been smitten with it recently, I'm never quite prepared to see it being used as a first name... I think Archibald as a middle name might be more suited.
Oh, Gilbert! One of my longest loved, childhood "treasure" names.
Florence... eh. It's alright, but I don't think that it deserves the attention and awe that it receives. More often than not it comes across as plastic, breakable, and unfitting to the bearer. As for Aurelia... I wish that the popularity involving it would die. I don't enjoy seeing it used.
Eva is not my cup of tea. Madelief is an interesting gem, though (especially as a middle name - it might be a little too bizarre for a first, in most cases).
Rex Rayne-- seriously? It sounds like a comic character- and not in a good way. Give the kid a real name! If ever someone is so focused on using Rex, please use it as a nickname... or, at the most, a middle name.
Spike Bowman. Oh my. Bowman is, as odd as it is to admit, an ugly and strangely intriguing name - I don't mind it as a middle. Spike, though? It sounds like the name of a dog.

I get kind of creeped out when I see names like Madelief. It makes me think the parents read BTN.

I'd assumed Madeleif was a typo

Same!
In many of the BAs that people compile and post here, there are often a handful (or sometimes one, or none) that give me the eerie sensation that the parents are familiar with BtN... not only is it the obscure names like Madelief, but also sometimes certain firstname/middlename combinations, sibling names/sets, and occasionally the current BtN forum "trend" spreading around the boards and PNLs.

Anytime a British person sneers at the US for having presidents that chose to go by Jimmy or Bill, I would like to point out that there are not many names as ridiculous and childish as Alfie.
Harvey and Archie sound about 92 years old.
Spike is not a name. The poor child deserves an actual name, not some dumb gangster-ish nickname.
I guess they think Rex is manly, but Rex Wood? Really? Does he break boards with his bare hands? Anyway, Rex is a dog's name.
