    Arlo- 5/10 I don't love or hate it but it seems better suited for a fictional character

    August- 8/10 If you've ever watched the movie August Rush you will love the name even more. I find it a very strong name although sweet as well

    Avery- 8/10 I love this name and I think it really only works for a boy. To me it sounds better as a surname although it isn't a bad first name either.

    Benjamin- 9/10 I just love this name and find it super handsome. If it wasn't getting so popular I would consider using it as a first name myself.

    Callum- 3/10 Unless you live somewhere where this name is really popular or part of your ancestry I would advise against it. I see "callus" every time I see the name which makes it sound awful

    Calvin- 8/10 I think this is such a cute name! I don't know any adults with the name so I'm not sure how the name would age which is why I didn't give ti a 10

    Elijah- 6/10 I feel like I know too many Elijah's. It's a great name, but at this point I'm just getting tired of it. Maybe there aren't a lot where you live though in which case I think it's lovely

    Elliott- 7/10 There's nothing inherently wrong with this name but I always say it like ET the first time I see it and it reminds me of the annoying girl in Scrubs. I do like how it sounds though

    Everett- 5/10 Reminds me of Mt. Everest. It's not a bad name but I feel almost nothing for it good or bad

    Felix- 7/10 I was obsessed with this name for a while but I really don't know how well it will age up. It was a very aristocratic name many years ago so I think it's very handsome, but you most definitely will get cat references more often than aristocrat.

    Hope this helps :)

    Calvin: This one's cool, like Calvin Harris

    Elijah: I love this one! it sounds poetic
