[User1928384]

Francis (Frankie)
Louis
Rory
Luca
Jack
Dominic (Dom/Domi)
Vincent (Vinnie)
Fred/Freddie
Leo
Ellis
Zachary
Kai
Oliver
Elias (Eli)
Arlo

I love. Francis. Vincent. Leo. Oliver. Rory.
Luca/Elias are just okay.
Don't like the rest. Jack seems quite dated now. Although that's not particularly a bad thing.
Why does Arlo remind me of milk

Louis is also okay

My favourite is Oliver
Followed by
Leo
Louis
Jack
Zachary
The rest are a No from me.

I only like Elias from your list.

Same. Only like Elias :)

Ellis
Rory
Louie

Rory is my favourite by miles!

I also really like Arlo, Vincent and Francis (although I know a Frances who hates her name so much that it slightly put me off - her main complaint is that the male and female versions sound the same. I still really like it though).

Weirdly, I actually dislike Elias as well as Ellis, Louis and strongly dislike Kai.

The former three because I think they sound a bit wet / weak / watery and Kai because of the Rooneys! I love Kit though, so that really doesn't make sense...

Sorry also love Elis

Francis (Frankie) So, so
Louis nice
Rory horrible!
Luca so, so
Jack so.so
Dominic (Dom/Domi) really dislike
Vincent (Vinnie) no
Fred/Freddie no
Leo nice
Ellis love
Zachary really harsh sounding
Kai just awful!
Oliver bland
Elias (Eli) Love it
Arlo sounds like half a name and something is missing.

Francis (Frankie) love Frankie
Louis love
Rory ok
Luca ok
Jack maybe a bit dated and very popular
Dominic (Dom/Domi) - it's ok dislike Dom
Vincent (Vinnie) love
Fred/Freddie - like but popular
Leo - like but popular
Ellis - like
Zachary - like
Kai - ok
Oliver - too popular
Elias (Eli) - like and love Eli
Arlo - like

My favorites are Louis, Frankie, Elias ( Eli) and Vincent (Vinnie)

Like Dominic (in its entirety) and Zachary. None of the others.

I also like Luca

Bit biased but love Frankie and ellis. My youngest ds is Frankie Ellis james

Francis (Frankie)-love
Louis-it’s okay but will probably be Lou
Rory-don’t like
Luca-like
Jack-my favourite
Dominic (Dom/-don’t like
Vincent (Vinnie)-love
Fred/Freddie-love
Leo-don’t like
Ellis-don't like
Zachary-not a huge fan, will most likely be Zach
Kai-love
Oliver-lovely, but popular and will most likely become Ollie
Elias (Eli)-love
Arlo-love it, but I think it’s quite a popular faddy name and may come a bit dated in years to come.

Francis (Frankie) - Love Frank or Frankie, not keen on Francis, feels a bit wet.
Louis - boring
Rory - LOVE Rory
Luca - nice. Also like Luke
Jack - bland
Dominic (Dom/Domi) - ok. I wouldn't use Domi as a nickname for a boy.
Vincent (Vinnie) - no.
Fred/Freddie - v popular. Not that keen
Leo - nice but v popular if that bothers you.
Ellis - not keen.
Zachary - lovely
Kai - no.
Oliver - really lovely but vvv popular
Elias (Eli) - nice. I wouldn't automatically call him Eli as a nickname though so wouldn't expect other people to either. Elijah is also good.
Arlo - LOVE Arlo, rising in popularity but for good reason.

I really like Elijah as suggested above or even just Eli on its own. I met a little Eli a while ago and thought it was lovely.

Dominic and Elias are the only nice ones.

Francis (Frankie) - alright but don't love Francis, although Frank and Frankie are cool
Louis - love this
Rory - love this
Luca - don't like based on everyone I know who has used this name being people I don't like so no real reflection of the name itself
Jack - boring
Dominic (Dom/Domi) - quite nice
Vincent (Vinnie) - really don't like. Can't imagine it on anyone other than a large, bald, cockney man
Fred/Freddie - like
Leo - like
Ellis - don't like but everyone else seems to
Zachary - okay
Kai - don't like, it's a bit of a footballers wife/z list celebrity baby name
Oliver - nice but very common
Elias (Eli) - really cool
Arlo - don't like

Just to clarify I like Elias but lias as a nn not a fan of Eli.

I love Francis, Rory and Freddie.

If you like Lias as a nn for Elias, how about Linus?

In order:
Elias
Oliver
Fred
Rory
Ellis
Jack
Dominic
Leo
Francis (Frankie)
Louis
Zachary
Kai
Arlo
Luca
Vincent

Arlo

Not much help but, I like them all with the exception of Kai which I really don’t like

Zachary would be the clear winner for me
