I like:

---

James
Joseph
Christopher
Benjamin

I like all these names

I dislike Owen, George, and Levi, but the rest are fine. None have much personality.

I like all of these save for Christopher and George because I think they are the plainest.

The rest are fine names but they're not on my radar. My least favorites are Andrew, Matthew & Eric.

1. James - classic, very handsome, a bit overused
2. Matthew - I find it flat and limp and bland
3. Evan - I prefer John, or Ifan
4. Joseph - never stays Joseph; if you like Joe, and I do, it's a good name
5. Ryan - it had its moment of overuse; dated now. I much prefer Brian or Bryan
6. Christopher - lovely name; beware of strange nns like Tiffer
7. Owen - very ordinary; hints at debt; I know of one whose unpleasant nn is Owie
8. Benjamin - I like the name much more than the family member whose name it is! Ben is a great nn; Benjie is babyish.
9. Daniel - very good indeed
10. Eric - prefer Erica for a girl
11. Michael - excellent as a mn; as a fn, it turns into Mike while you watch
12. Andrew - I've never liked it; just seems bland
13. Levi - fine in a religious family
14. Anthony - I prefer Antony, nn Anton
15. George (after my grandfather) - I prefer Georgina for a girl

I love Eric, Andrew, Anthony, Daniel, Matthew, Ryan, Evan, Michael, and Benjamin. Also, George after your grandfather would be very nice!!
