- Levi
- Spencer
- Sawyer
- Bennett
- Mason
- Parker

Ones I dislike:

- Monroe- I have a strong girl association with this name now
- Caspian- NMS
- Kincayde- NMS I like Cade/Kade though
- Titus- I just see teasing potential because ‘tit’ in the spelling it’s the first thing my eyes drew to when looking at your list.

Nathaniel nn Nate - I think this is super cute, but I prefer the whole name rather than using a nickname (9/10)
Fergus - This is cute, but not one I'd use, however I'd love to see it on someone else's kid (5/10)
Archer - Adorable, love it. Expecially love the potential nickname Archie (9/10)
Henry - This has been my favourite for ages now, it's so cute but handsome as well (10/10)
Peter - Not a fan of Peter, it just seems too old if that makes sense, but I can kind of see it on a younger person (3/10)
Silas - I like this, but I probably wouldn't use it myself. It's a nice name though (6/10)
Chandler - All that comes to mind when I hear Chandler is Friends, and while I love that show, I'm not a fan of the name itself (4/10)
Angus - This is in the same corner as Fergus for me; it's cute on someone else's kid, but not mine (5/10)
Perth - Not a fan of this at all, sorry. I just can't picture it as a name (1/10)
Logan - I used to like this, but recently I haven't as much. Maybe because it's a name that I hear often, it seems like it's everywhere these days, so it's not really for me (4/10)
Hunter - It's cute, but not for me. It just sounds so harsh to me, but maybe that's just me idk (4/10)
Tyler - I know too many Tylers for me to consider this one, and I think that it's outgrown it's cuteness, to me anyway. It might have been cute once, but it's just so overused that it doesn't sound that fresh anymore (3/10)
Ryan - This is a popular name, has been for years, yet I love it. I might consider it one day, but being that it's eternally popular there would always be little Ryans running about, so that kind of puts me off (8/10)
Maddox - This fits well in with today's trends, yet I don't quite know where I stand on this one. I want to love it, but at the same time I'm not quite sure how, which only makes sense in my head lol (5/10)
Rylan - Not a fan of this, despite its closeness to Ryan. It just feels too trendy and made up, and I just don't know how to feel about it (4/10)
Saxon - This will always remind me of Anglo Saxons and history lessons, and it's just steeped too much in history for me to consider naming my child it. I will always think of it as a word and not a name (2/10)
Brighton - This is a place, my uncle lives there lol. For me it's not a name, it doesn't even sound like a name, it's a place. I really don't like this on (1/10)
Brantley - Again, I really don't like this name. It seems like a mash up of Bentley and Bradley, and I just don't like how it sounds (1/10)
Ryder - This used to be super cute to me, but lately it's seeming a little too trendy. It's still cute, but not as cute, and I'm not liking it as much now (5/10)
Lucas - This is a cute name, not really my cup of tea, but it's better than a lot of the others (5/10)
Kingston - Not a fan, at all. It just seems too trendy, and I don't like the sounds in it (1/10)
Fletcher - This is cute, an occupation name, which is trendy right now. Not sure if I'd use it, but it's cute (6/10)
Carter - Not a major fan, but it's kind of cute. Just reminds me of my old drama teacher though, her surname was Carter (5/10)
Kenan - Not sure if this is supposed to be Kenan, or just misspelled Keenan. Either way I don't really like the name (2/10)
Channing - Not a fan, I just don't like how it sounds (2/10)
Luca - I think this is cute, I like it better than Lucas, but not sure if I prefer this or Luke (7/10)
Graham - Of course, I have a bias for this name, but spelt Graeme :3 Adorable, probably a middle for me as I already have big Graeme lol (10/10)
Bentley - I think this is cute, not that I'd use it for my own children, but it is cute (5/10)
Austin - A little too popular for me, and I prefer it on a girl spelled Austen, after the author (5/10)
Carrington - This sounds a little feminine to me, the Carri part on the front is to blame I think. It's also not a name that I like, the sounds really put me off (1/10)
Stephen (Stefan) - This isn't my favourite name, but I'd use it to honor family. I can only picture it on an older man though, unless it's a middle name (5/10)
Finnegan - Cute, my favourite of the Fin names (9/10)
Micah - Adorable, I prefer it on boys too (9/10)
Beckham - Not a name that I would use, ever, given that it would forever be associated with the footballer. I do like the Beck part though (5/10)
Levi - Cute, but not sure if I would use it (5/10)
Spencer - Love, prefer spelling Spenser, but it's cute either way (9/10)
Lane - Not sure about this, I think I like it better on a girl (4/10)
Azariah - This, again, feels more feminine to me, and I'm not sure I like it even then (2/10)
Sawyer - Cute, but I wouldn't use it (5/10)
Ellis - Adorable, not sure if I'd use it, but I love it (8/10)
Nehemiah - I like this name, it's not my favourite by any stretch, but it's cute, although a bit of a mouthful! (7/10)
Bennett - Adorable; reminds me of the Bennetts from Pride and Prejudice, but I love that book so it's a good thing (8/10)
Porter - Same ball park as Sawyer (5/10)
Monroe - I love this for a girl, but I can see it working on a boy. It does seem more feminine to me, but it's still cute (6/10)
Mason - Cute, but I probably wouldn't use it myself (5/10)
Brady - I prefer Brody, but this is cute too (5/10)
Dempsey - Not a surname name that I like, too associated to Patrick Dempsey I think, at least that's what I thought of when I read it (3/10)
Elliot - Love it, I hope I get to use this when I have children as I think it's just so handsome, and I can see it aging well (9/10)
Blakely - Not a fan, sorry. I just don't like the sound (1/10)
Oakley - Same as Blakely, they've got the same sort of sounds in them (1/10)
Lincoln - Too presidential for me, not a name I'd use (2/10)
Sullivan - I dislike how this name sounds, it's just not for me (1/10)
Thomas - A family name for me, but it's cute and I might use it as a middle (6/10)
Edmond - Not my style, I just dislike it tbh (1/10)
Jeremiah - Cute as a button, I love it and the nn Jem (9/10)
Parker - Same as Porter and Sawyer (5/10)
Tucker - As above (5/10)
Colin - Too old for me personally, I can't see it being cute on a little boy, but then again I only know older Colins (3/10)
Ronan - Not for me, just dislike the sound (2/10)
Griffin - Cute, but not for me. I don't know how to explain it, but I'm not sure about how it sounds (4/10)
Elijah nn Eli - I would use this, maybe as a middle name not sure, but I do adore it (8/10)
Noah - On my list, one to maybe use in the future. It's cute, although popular right now (7/10)
Riley - It's cute, but it's really a little too ambiguous for me; without seeing my child people will be unsure of the gender, seeing as Riley is such a unisex name, and I'm not sure I like that (4/10)
Caspian (probably as a middle) - Cute, and I do think it might work as a middle name. Reminds me a little of Caspar (as in the friendly ghost), because of the sound (5/10)
Trevor - NMS (3/10)
Cash - Dislike how it sounds (2/10)
Leonardo - Prefer just Leo or Leon, this seems too frilly to me (4/10)
Chance - Not my favourite virtue name, but not the worst either (5/10)
Kellan - Okay, but not my favourite (4/10)
Pierce - Reminds me of Piers Morgan, they might be different names but they do sound the same, and I'm not a fan of either (3/10)
Dakota - Cute, I really like this on a boy, more than on a girl tbh, I kind of have the same problem as with Riley though (5/10)
Kincayde - Not a fan at all, sorry. It just sounds too made up, but I do like Cade/Kade (2/10)
Josiah - Cute, I like how it sounds, and it stands out from the Josephs imo (8/10)
Orville - Reminds me too much of the singing bird, not sure if it transferred across the pond or not...the sound isn't for me either, and I can't picture it on a baby (1/10)
Sage - Could be cute, but it might need to grow on me first (not sure if pun intended or not). Might prefer it on a girl (4/10)
Wesley - Cute, a little countryish, but I like that (5/10)
Grant - Just reminds me of EastEnders, so that's a nope (1/10)
Titus - Not sure on this one, I might like it, but then again I might not (4/10)
Bryce - Don't like the sound of this, not really for me (2/10)
Wiley - Prefer on a girl, but it's not bad on a boy (6/10)
Declan - Not really for me, the middle sounds are a bit too harsh imo (3/10)
Easton - Nope. Just nope (1/10)
Lawton - Again, nope (1/10)
Benjamin nn Ben - Cute, but far too popular imo (5/10)
Gabriel - Adorable. I think this would be super cute on just about anyone tbh (9/10)
Sutton - I want to like it, but it's a place near where I live, so that's kind of putting me off a little (4/10)
Hudson - Not really sure on this, reminds me of My Scene dolls (3/10)
Judah - Like it, not sure if I'd use it (4/10)
Simon - Same as Judah, though I have a bear called Simon (5/10)
Griffith - Same as Griffin (4/10)
Malachi - Cute, I like it. Might use it, but not sure (7/10)

Least Favorites:
Fergus - I understand using it as an honoring name, but it sounds rather clunky to me, sorry!
Angus - Same with Fergus.
Blakely - Seems a little feminine. I prefer Blake on a boy.
Oakley - I personally don't like the sound of it. It doesn't seem like a real name to me.
Cash - I personally wouldn't want to name my kid after money!
Dakota - Though it has a masculine sound, I think it's too tied to the actress Dakota Fanning.
Kincayde - I understand the personal meaning to you, but this name also seems made up to me.
As a final note, I must say that I love Silas and Spencer as twin names! Spencer Levi is really handsome, too.

You have a lovely list to work with. I really like using names that have a personal meaning; as well as names both parents REALLY like. I tried to concentrate on names that fit these criteria (based upon your descriptions) while trying to put together my top 12 from your list. The list is in order of how well I like the sound of the names. Have fun!
Silas Peter
Bentley Sullivan
Henry Sullivan
Colin Titus
Gabriel Tiitus
Nathaniel Kincayde
Easton Riley
Judah Kincayde
Archer Stephen
Jeremiah Stephen
Parker Sullivan
Angus Sullivan
