Hugo - nice, but so overdone lately. 5/10
Cassias - really cool! 6/10
Aidan - very boring. Overdone a few years ago, now dated
Cassian - the best on the list! A saints name so has a strong history, very classy and strong sounding, but also has a very cool feel to it. Uncommon but not ridiculous. I think it will get more popular soon but hopefully not much more as it’s on my list too! 10/10
Frank - fine but so trendy, loads of them in my hometown, fits the grandpa chic vibe if you’re into it. I like it but not that excited by it.
Vincent - don’t like
John - don’t like although I want to
Dominic - nice sound. Familiar but uncommon. Strong but soft. 6/10
Benjamin (Ben) - nice but just a little dull. 5/10
James - nice, like nn Jimmy. 6/10
Mason - yuck! This doesn’t belong on this list. A Kardashian name, weak and a bit chavvy.
Joel - it’s fine. 4/10
Harris - dislike
Alexander - cute and strong at the same time. Nice nicknames 8/10
Spencer - a nice enough sound but nothing really special about it 2/10
Fraser - see comments for spencer
Joseph - love!! 9/10
Frederick (Freddie) - cute but every second baby boy is a Freddie these days. 4/10
Adrian - no

Maverick - just no
Macauley - 1000x no
