I would like to vibe check these names. Many of them are more unusual so they probably have a stronger mental image or stereotype attached than names used more widely. What do you imagine boys with these names to be like?

Cosmo
Edmund
Hector
Conrad
Magnus
Lysander
Rafe
Ranulph
Peregrine
Benedict
Leonidas

I know a couple of Australian Conrad/Konrad's. Very down to earth. Also very blond.
I know one Hector. He is a very normal middle-aged Mexican.
The other names in the list sound rather upmarket, but then you just have to meet one scumbag named Sebastian and your idea of what's posh changes.

I imagine some of them may attend Eton! There are some lovely names in your list, but to me some seem a bit pompous
