Archibald is neat, though as much as I've been smitten with it recently, I'm never quite prepared to see it being used as a first name... I think Archibald as a middle name might be more suited.
Oh, Gilbert! One of my longest loved, childhood "treasure" names.
Florence... eh. It's alright, but I don't think that it deserves the attention and awe that it receives. More often than not it comes across as plastic, breakable, and unfitting to the bearer. As for Aurelia... I wish that the popularity involving it would die. I don't enjoy seeing it used.
Eva is not my cup of tea. Madelief is an interesting gem, though (especially as a middle name - it might be a little too bizarre for a first, in most cases).
Rex Rayne-- seriously? It sounds like a comic character- and not in a good way. Give the kid a real name! If ever someone is so focused on using Rex, please use it as a nickname... or, at the most, a middle name.
Spike Bowman. Oh my. Bowman is, as odd as it is to admit, an ugly and strangely intriguing name - I don't mind it as a middle. Spike, though? It sounds like the name of a dog.
