Re: What do you think of these names I'd consider naming my (hypothetical) son?
I love Ambrose and Lachlan the best.
Briar I hate with a passion. Florus sounds kind of feminine. Gael also sounds feminine to me. Never heard of Kaolin or Mochan. Theodore is way too popular and needs a break.

Theodore is definitely very popular, but I feel like for good reason. Gael and Florus do sound feminine, but plenty of popular names sound feminine when they're masculine and vice versa. Understand the hate for Briar, since it's also the name of plants.
Yes, a prickly thorn. I don't understand how Briar ever became a name.
