I would like to vibe check these names. Many of them are more unusual so they probably have a stronger mental image or stereotype attached than names used more widely. What do you imagine boys with these names to be like?

Cosmo
Edmund
Hector
Conrad
Magnus
Lysander
Rafe
Ranulph
Peregrine
Benedict
Leonidas

I love the name Magnus, and it's a common name in my home country Sweden. But mostly for men who are in their 40's and 50's now, not among newborns.

It's often combined with Karl or Carl, "Karl-Magnus", "Carl Magnus", etc.

Great name!

It sounds different (and nicer) in Swedish though.
