Dylan's an awesome name (but I am deeply biased) Charlie is OK, although it should be short for something (Charles, Carlos, Bonnie Prince..) otherwise yeah, cocaine or a dog Henry was my grandpa's name and I loved him dearly but I'm not crazy about the name personally sort of like Toby but have only met tawtty ones don't really Brian, Harvey or Calvin, but that's just me.

Charlie - lovely nickname for a child; better to have Charles for when he's an adult
Toby - upper middle class, nice kid
Henry - positive
Brian - old man
Calvin - Klein
Harvey - Weinstein
Dylan - naughty boy

I really don’t like Calvin or Harvey. Brian is probably due a comeback. Dylan makes me think of Dylan Thomas, so I love it. I love Toby too. Henry and Charlie are both very popular in these parts. Sorry, my return key isn’t working, so I couldn’t do this as a list.

Charlie - v popular, Charlie and Lola
Toby - nice, gentle
Henry - kids TV - 'the day Henry met' or number 3 green engine
Brian - cartoon dog or my Dad
Calvin - nice, different
Harvey - Weinstein
Dylan - Bob Dylan

Charlie - the naughty 5 year old who lives across the road
Toby - but of a know it all

Brian stands out as massively hipster.

Harvey Weinstein, Brian that is called Brian (Life of Brian). It’s a joke name.
