My favorite is Edmund and I like Camilla.
Edmund and Francis are the names of my maternal uncles so I like these names for sentimental reasons. I remember reading British history and learning about the numerous Kings named Richard and Henry. There were some interesting characters with those names. There not favorites of mine but I can appreciate their royal pedigree. Camilla is ok but I prefer the French version Camille.

Just my opinion. They're all fine names, but most of them are not my style. (:
Francis - Eh, not my favorite. I just don't like how it sounds. It looks nice, though. If I could get over Frank (or maybe it's the age of it?), I'd probably like it more.
Richard - I've never really liked this name. It feels kind of old, and I've never heard it on anyone born after, like, 1955. If I met someone with this name (who was at least an ok person and was a bit younger) I'd probably be fonder of it.
Edmund - I like this one. Probably because of the Chronicles of Narnia, but who cares.
Henry - It feels a bit empty and stale. Like it's a placeholder name, or a piece of white bread. I don't know. It's fine. It just doesn't really have a 'flavor.' It's just there.
Camilla - I like it. It sounds sweet and quiet. I'm biased, though, because one of my friends when I was little had this name and she was sweet and quiet.
What are you reading? My curiosity has been piqued.

The Secret History :)
I love Francis and Edmund, don't particularly care much about Richard or Camilla. Henry is okay but kind of boring.
Camilla is OK in its place, but that isn't my place.
I'd happily use Richard, but it doesn't work with my ln. I like Francis very much, but would want to avoid trite Frank, especially since a friend at uni called men who sang romantic ballads Frankies, on the grounds that they all sounded like Frank Sinatra and some others whom I forget.
I prefer Edmond to Edmund, but I'd use Edward if anything. I really cannot enjoy Henry at all.
