Order of preference?

[BroadcastHouse]

Please list these names in order of preference; (thnx!)

Alban (picked this one up on mumsnet and quite like it)
Archer
Arlo
Ambrose

Middle name James.

Ash is nicer as a NN, to Arch... I prefer Archer, if the NN was Archie, but if not, Asher is a lot better, but I prefer Ashley

Love Asher James.

Archer
Arlo
Ambrose
Alban

Archer
Ambrose
Arlo
Alban

1.Archer - handsome, cool, classic, Victorian (option to use Archie to be more mainstream).
2.Arlo - cute, hippie, creative, cool.
3.Ambrose - old school, unusual (but not keen on the food connection?).
4.Asher - I know two Ashers and one Asha, all three are of Indian origin. I like it, however I have a strong personal dislike for the male name Ashley and so the inevitable nn of Ash makes it a no-go for me.
5.Alban - could be a grower, but slightly too unusual for me.

Cleopatrasdaughter - OP here, what's the big difference between Archer and Asher that one is beyond awful and the other is great? Very interested as I quite like both and thought they were fairly similar.

Archer if I had to pick

Don't like any of the others.

Have to concur that James is by far the nicest name I have seen on this thread.

James Arlo

Really don't like the other 3

Asher James is lovely, so is Archer James - not keen on the others...

Asher - the best of the lot, I like it.
Archer - fine, I'm not hugely keen but nothing wrong with it.
Alban - grand, neither here nor there on it.
Arlo - really dislike. There's just something about it that feels very hipstery to me.
Ambrose - this is dreadful, sorry.

Alaric, Artiom, Alistair might all fit your criteria?

I've also seen Artiom spelled Artem and Artyom, btw. Taught a few of these over the years!
