Re: Opinions on my top 20 boy names?
Asher: Sounds like a sneeze.
Bennett: Went to school with one. He went by Ben. It's all right but I far prefer Benjamin.
Brendan: It's as heavy and ugly to me as Brenda is for girls.
Cyrus: Ugly sound.
Dameon: Damian is nice. This spelling just doesn't look right.
Elijah: Very nice.
Elliott: It's all right but has nothing to really recommend it what with all the Ellas and Ellies.
Isadore: Seems very stereotypically old-Jewish-guy-in-the-1930s.
Jasper: Just can't picture it on a person.
Joshua: It's okay. For Biblical J names I'd prefer Josiah.
Mason: Yawn.
Nico: Weird, both childish and unisex. Nicholas is nice.
Rocky: Dog name, and a boring one at that.
Samuel: This is nice. I like the nn Sam more than I like the full name.
Sylas: Ugly spelling of a creepy-sounding name.
Tristan: I do like this, but it sounds so much like Kristen that for a long time I didn't realize it wasn't Kristen.
Tyler: Brat name.
Wilbur: Some pig.
Wyatt: It's okay.
Xavier: never can warm up to it.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

You're funny, haha! For some reason, I find Brenda unpleasant but Brendan is nice-sounding.
