Most of these are in the "just alright" category for me, but I do especially like Nolwenn and Thaddeus. Nolwenn is beautiful and mysterious, and Thaddeus is so adorably bookish.

Feminine

Evadne - I feel like I should like this name.. but I feel like when I say it I feel dyslexic
Martine - not a fan
Nolwenn - kinda interesting actually!
Tegwen - I prefer Tegan, the W is a bit jarring
Thisbe - mmm not sure on this one

---

Sorry there are few girls names on this earth that I like.

Masculine

Fintan - cool. So much cooler than boring Finn, Flynn or Finlay (all three are so annoyingly popular here)
Harper - YAY I love Harper on a boy, so cool and macho. I don't know how anyone thinks its girly.
Lorcán - LOVE :)
Otto - New favourite of ours. I was suprised my hubby liked it. Less popular than Otis too!
Thaddeus - So fun and cool, but I always feel like its a really 'American' name, so my reluctance to use it.

Evadne - it's pretty looking, but I don't like the -dn- sound
Martine - nice if you're French speaking. I prefer Martina, which I like a lot.
Nolwenn - not bad, but I don't like the NO in it.
Tegwen - sweet.
Thisbe - eh, it's alright. Nms but interesting.

Fintan - in my accent it loses its appeal, sounds a lot like Fenton. It's spiffy when other people say it correctly though
Harper - blah. Harping on about something
Lorcán - seems handsome. nms but ok. Suffers from my accent
Otto - has a comic vibe for me. Seems like a butch name, but nms - mostly because it comes out sounding just like auto in my accent
Thaddeus - nms but I think it's pretty hip, a good name.

I love Fintan and Thaddeus.
Not so keen on Martine and Lorcan.

I adore Thisbe, Otto, and Thaddeus and really like Evadne, Martine, and Fintan.

Evadne: I rather like this. It's both familiar and different to me. Lovely.
Martine: Not a favorite.
Nolwenn: Very fantasy, almost Lord of the Rings-like. I like it, but would never use it.
Tegwen: I'm not sure what I think about this.
Thisbe: I don't particularly like Thisbe. I can see why others would, though.

Fintan: He would totally go by Finn. I don't really like it.
Harper: I like it better for a girl, but it's okay for a boy.
Lorcán: I love it.
Otto: All right.
Thaddeus: A bit fancy for a little boy.
