1. Abel — But they're pretty equal to me, nice enough names but don't like them much. The English pronunciation of Abel sounds the same as the word able and Alec reminds me of "smart aleck." I guess I like Abel more in theory? But it's really a flip of the coin. Much prefer Alex.
2. Calvin
3. Everett
4. Reid — Like them both very much.
5. Oscar
6. Lowell
7. Conrad
8. Jonah — I truly like Harvey more but it's just so sadly tainted by Harvey Weinstein in my mind.
9. Ferris
10. Arthur
11. Malcolm — Truly dislike both very much.1. Claudia — Gorgeous.
2. Violet — Almost a flip of a coin as I love both, but I do tend to lean towards Violet.
3. Polly
4. Sylvia — But like them about equal. I do much prefer this spelling of Vivian than Vivianne / Vivienne which seems to be popular among BtN-ers.
5. Pearl — Like both.
6. Ophelia — Like both, but still prefer Ophelia by a landslide. Ophelia has a lot of depth, history, it's literary, and dark. Ottilia feels very light, airy, and "tea-time" to me if that makes sense.
7. Wendy
8. Cecilia
9. Sophia
10. Luella
11. Matilda — For some reason I have a lifelong hatred for the name Eloise. I do like Louise, though.

Alec vs Abel - Alec; Abel is too tied to the Biblical character
Calvin vs Simon – Simon, but prefer Kelvin to both
Bennett vs Everett – Bennett, but kind of like both
Dean vs Reid – Reid (though I prefer it spelled Reed)
Otto vs Oscar – Oscar, I prefer both the sound and the look to Otto
Lyle vs Lowell – Lowell, I once knew one and he made me like the name
Conrad vs Dawson - Conrad, but not a fan of either
Harvey vs Jonah - Jonah; like both but Jonah is friendlier
Penn vs Ferris – Penn because it reminds me of Pennsylvania; prefer it as a MN, though
Arthur vs Ambrose – Arthur, one of my steadiest favorite names
Spencer vs Malcolm - Malcolm; Spencer sounds a bit prissyClaudia vs Ramona – Claudia (both are pretty)
Scarlett vs Violet – Scarlett, sounds more nature IMO
Molly vs Polly – Molly, sounds more timeless and is growing on me
