My revised boy name list...please rate or comment?

So, I changed both my girl and boy name lists, and I posted my girl's list earlier. I thought I would get feedback on my boy's names too, since I got a lot of helpful answers for my earlier question.

Anyway, if you could rate or comment, that would be great. You don't have to do them all, you can just say faves/least faves, etc.

(And yes, I do know they are common!)

Asher

Benjamin "Ben" (I know a Benjamin who is really important to me, so...)

Caleb

Ethan

Finn

Gabriel

Jack

James

Michael (I know two Michael's who are super important to me, though I know it's common)

Nathaniel "Nate"

Noah

Samuel "Sam"

William "Will"

Thanks so much! :)

    Asher - 9/10 Love Asher... It's been on my favorites list for a while.

    Benjamin "Ben" - 10/10 Benjamin is my favorite boys name. I love it.

    Caleb - 8/10 It's cute, but not my favorite.

    Ethan - 9/10 I really like it. One of my favorites.

    Finn - 6/10 I like Finn as a nickname, but not as a given name. I prefer Finley, Griffin, or Finnegan.

    James - 5/10 I have never liked the name James... Not sure why..

    Michael - 6/10 I don't love it, but it's not bad. I will probably use it as a middle name because of my uncle Mike who I am very close to.

    Nathaniel "Nate" - 8/10 I like Nathaniel, and I love the nickname Nate. It's so handsome.

    Noah - 9/10 Noah has been on my favorites list forever. I really really like it.

    Samuel "Sam" - 8/10 It's a good, classic name. I love the nickname Sam.

    William "Will" - 4/10 I have never liked the name William. I don't know why.. I just don't like it. I do like the nickname Will though.

    My favorites are Benjamin, Asher, Ethan, and Gabriel.

    My least favorites are James and William.

    If someone is important to you, I think using that persons name would be nice. Benjamin Michael or Michael Benjamin are both nice combos.
