Haven't we had this list quite recently?

My favourites are Felix, Isaac and Ernest. Personally I don't like first names which sound like surnames (probably because I grew up with a surname that is more commonly a first name - it's really annoying!) so for me that would rule out Elwood, Stirling and Ford.

I like Ford the most out of your list. Strong and unusual

Like Elwood and Felix. Might Conrad fit the bill?

I remember a very similar recent list, too.
Love Peter and Felix, and like Albert.
Not keen on the others.

thanks.

How about Rex or Adam? I love Rex - i know it s a very old traditional name but as it lost popularity for a while is it still a name which is taken seriously?

Adam i like but i am worried about it being boring or common - any thoughts?

I like Peter and Ernest from your first list and I think Adam is definite contender, I think it's really under used at the moment
