Which is your favorite: Miles, Joseph, Luke, Daniel, Pierce, Alexander “Alec,” Nicholas, Cameron, Christian, Caleb, Elijah, Clark, Heath, Max, James “Jamie,” Theodore, Russell, August, Simon, Blake, Rowan, Graham, or Leo?

If this helps, I always picture a handsome, bookish man but hopefully not a dorky name!

Thats a long list - can you not whittle it down a bit yourself??

Miles is my favourite from that list

No idea what you mean by bookish but not nerdy, that’s a bit odd.

Most are nice, so I’d say Heath, Graham Pierce and Clark are the worse ones. Luke’s my favourite
