Boys Like:
William -- classic, handsome, nice nn options
Alexander -- ditto, the only male name here I'd probably use
Daniel -- tritto
Boys Dislike:
Mason -- not into using surnames that are not in one's family tree, also, occupational surname meanings are pretty silly as fns, imo
Jayden -- a nothing, trendy name based on sound
Aiden -- Aidan isn't bad although it's trendy, however, the misspelled version becoming more common truly annoys me (ditto with Zoey / Zoe)
Girls Like:
Sophia / Sofia -- classic, great meaning, elegant, exotic
Isabella -- ditto
Elizabeth -- a perennial classic, great nn options, the only name I'd use here
Girls Dislike:
Emily -- insipid
Madison -- again, the surname thing
Addison -- ditto
