Love: Andrew, Carter, Gavin, Jude, Micah (my brother's name :) ), Nathaniel, Noah, Sawyer

 

Like: Cruz, Derek, Ethan, Jacob, Logan

 

Lose: Troye (I have no idea how this is pronounced? Trowe-yay? )

 

Spell Calum as Callum & Kellin as Kellan or Kellen and I'd put them in the love category.

 

The rest I don't have much of any feeling towards. I don't dislike them, but I don't necessarily like them either. Just not my style.

Love

Carter - This is one of my absolute favorite names. I just can picture it on any age and I love it, and will probably use it for my own little boy someday.

Jude - Another one I love love love and could see myself using in the future. It's just very handsome to me.

Lucas - I'm on a big Luke kick right now and Lucas is a close second. Another very handsome one.

Gavin - Another one I like. It's kind of hard to give reasons for these ones, I just like them ;)

Kellin - I definitely prefer the spelling Kellan, but this is still a nice, handsome name.

Logan - This one's been growing on me lately and I do really like it.

Ethan - I know a slightly annoying little boy with this name, but I still think it's handsome.

 

Like

Troye - If there were 8 in the 'Love' category, this would be the eighth. Though I wouldn't use it myself, it's grown on me due to Troye Sivan, and oddly enough Troy just isn't as appealing to me even though it's the more common/traditional spelling.

Calum - I like Callen a bit better, and I'm wondering about this one: do you pronounce it like Callum (Cal-um) or "Cay-lum"? I've heard it both ways with this spelling. The nickname Cal would be cute though it you pronounced it that way.

Andrew - Super common, but it's sort of a classic that I think is pretty handsome.

Noah - This name is okay to me, I don't really dislike it but I don't love it.

Jacob - I know a little boy (he's actually the Ethan I mentioned above's baby brother) and he is just the sweetest little thing, they call him Jay rather than Jake. I'm not a huge fan of the nickname Jake but the positive connotation with Jacob does it for me.

Kyle - This is my brother's name, so I'm kind of just used to it rather than liking it. I don't dislike it, though.

Nathaniel - It's alright. I like Nathan a bit better, and the nickname Nate is cute. I know a Nathaniel (called Nathan) who has siblings Quinn (boy), Emma, and Jack.

 

 

Lose

Austin - I don't have a good reason, I just don't really like this name, plus it's a bit too popular/trendy for me.

Christofer - I prefer Christopher, but am not big on either name, really. It's a handsome classic though, with the easy nickname Chris.

Cruz - I'm just not a fan, it doesn't really feel like a name to me.

Dashiell - This one is awkward for me to pronounce, but I could see it being cute with the nickname Dash (sorry for all my comments about nicknames, I'm a big nickname girl)

Derek - Just not really my style, but I do have a positive connotation with this name due to Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds.

Micah - Okay, so I love Mika, but I don't know if you're pronouncing this like Mike-uh (which is most common when it's spelled like this) and Micah, pronounced that way, just doesn't appeal to me.

Sawyer - This is the name of a pretty annoying/dirty guy on LOST, so that kind of ruins the name for me, but I'm not a huge fan anyway. One of my mom's coworkers has a grandson named Sawyer though.

Troye is pronounced as you would Troy. But there's an honoring aspect, as there is with Kellin and Calum.

Love

Dashiell: Love this name! So handsome and the nickname Dash is great!

Cruz: I love the vibe Cruz has. I can definitely see it as the "cool kid" name

 Andrew: You can never go wrong with a classic. The nickname Drew is nice too.

 Gavin: So adorable, but yet will age well too.

 Jude: Not a name I would use, but love to see it on someone else's child.

 Sawyer: Love the vintage feel it has.

 Lucas: Another classic name that I love

 

Like

Calum: I would like this a lot more if it were spelled Callum

Noah: A little too popular for me, but still a great name,

Carter: Not really my style, but works well

Jacob: Again, too popular imo.

Kellin: The spelling looks a little off to me, I would prefer it as Kellan.

Micah: I really like Micah on a boy or girl!

Nathaniel: Very handsome, I like it as a middle name

 

Lose

Austin: Never been a fan

Christofer: Don't care for this spelling.

Ethan: Ethan seems a little too trendy to me.

 Derek: I can't picture this on a baby, just a tad outdated imo

Kyle: Same as Derek, Kyle screams 90's to me.

Troye: Don't care for the spelling

Logan: Too popular and trendy
