I'll just do the boys since I did the girls a few days ago.
Morpheus (perhaps Morph) - Don't like it at all. It reminds me of The Matrix (which I didn't like), and then a Religion and Philosophy teacher who bullied me.
Edmond (perhaps Eddy) - Love it. Much better than Edward.
Lazarus (Laz) - Interesting...it could grow on me but it's too Biblical at the moment.
Ignatius (Iggy) - Ignatius is okay, but I don't like Iggy. It reminds me of Iggy Pop, and I think it sounds silly.
Horatio (Ray) - At the moment it reminds me of a character on CSI who drives me up the wall, but give me a few years to get over this and it'll be a great name. It also reminds me of a talking cat.
Gregor - Better than Gregory, but I still don't like it much.
Neil - Love it. Nice to see I'm not the only one!
Walter - I know an old man with this name, so I can't picture it on anyone under 70.
Jerome (maybe Jem) - JE-ro-mee or je-ROME? Jerome is better in my opinion, and I like the nn Jem.
Alphonse (maybe Al) - Vaguely snobbish-sounding, but I don't hate it.
