Interesting collection!

I love:
Aisling - This will likely be my girls name. Provided I have another of course.
Sterling - I grew up with a boy by this name. I always thought it was cool, but a little to English for my family =(
King - very cool, but maybe a little presumptuous for me.
of the next set, I like:
Dawning
Hawking
But most of these are just too wordy for me. They are so descriptive that I find myself classifying the name bearer into preconceived categories of characterization. Which as a rule I try NOT to do, with any information about someone. ie. Their job, socio-economic class etc.
If I had to pick the worst (just for fun), I'd say Offing. Which makes me think of a serial killer =(
