I LOVE; Sebastian,Arthur,Joseph, Xander, Xavier (always pronouced it X-zavier), Quentin, Gilbert, Solomon, Otto, Elijah, Leonard are all on my list, so biased!

Tobias,Louis, Elmer, Rupert (can't get past the bear), Ezekiel, Willoughby (more of a surname now), Sydney, Barrington (more of a surnamey name too); I don't like.

Roman; sorry I just think sex offending film director)
Duke; I think of Duke ellington, not a bad thing!

I like all your girls name (again on my list) aside from Blossom (sorry, it's a cows name!) & Waverley (there is a disney show atm called Wizards of Waverley place)!
I think my favourite, at a push are Evangeline (you don't get many about!) & Sebastian (Never Ending Story!!).

Thanks OTHM, she is a bit of an indifferent shrugger!!!

I don't normally stick my oar in in Baby Names but I thought I would have a change:

Sebastian - really like the whole name but I'm not sure I like Seb
Arthur - I'm a bit on the fence on this one, I sort of like the whole name but dislike Art as a nn
Tobias - love this, and Toby as well.
Louis - fine
Joseph - like and love Joe
Roman - I'm not too keen on this
Xander - I'm a Buffy fan so I like it for sentimental reasons :)
Xavier (advice on pn please?) - don't like this at all
Elmer - or this really
Rupert - not keen
Ezekiel - I almost said I didn't like it but then... it grew on me. And Zeke is an ok nn

Sydney - dislike
Quentin - dislike
Gilbert -heavily heavily dislike
Solomon - I do quite like this, and Sol as well.
Otto - dislike

Barrington - really don't like and Hate Barry too

Jemima - sweet
Alice - I like this a lot
Cordelia - on the fence on this one
Beatrice - I don't like it but I do like Beatrix

Like all the girls names except for Waverley (train station in Edinburgh) Blossom (it's an endearment, like poppet, or sweetheart, or hen) and Emmanuelle (wasn't she a 70s porn star?)

Like most of the boys names, except for Elmer (patchwork elephant) and Barrington (is that even a name?)

My favourites are Joseph and Alice, although I think Beatrice goes best with Jane.
