I like/love:
Leo - Handsome and simple.
Gideon - Unexpected. Lovely Biblical name.
Tristan - I don't like the meaning, but I like the sound.
Xavier - Handsome.
Eva - Beautiful, feminine, yet strong.

Lydia - Always one of my favourites.
Juliet - Very pretty. Ditto Rosalind.
Julia - One of my faves. Beautiful and timeless.
