and the boys' list
in reply to a message by RoxStar
As threatened.
Adrian
Angus: I like this only on a bun topped with cheese and bacon and all the trimmings.
Brock: choking on broccoli.
Brody
Connor
Cyrus
Dean
Ethan
Edgar: it's just a very creepy sond, like a hit man who dissolves bodies in tubs of acid while twirling his mustache and charming the ladies with his accordion playing.
Felix: Edgar's silly, grinning, fussy assistant
Garth: like throwing up
Gideon
Harvey
Ian: just a whine.
Julian
Jamie
Keith
Kyler
Leon
Liam
Matthew: the Sarah of boys' names
Martin: No real idea why, but it seems to me I've run across too many "gay best friends" named Martin in books, all of whom seem to be caterers or interior decorators and very Mary Sue-ish.
Neil
Oliver: it slithers in my mouth like liver.
Otis
Percy
Ralph: goes double if somebody insists on saying it Rafe; triple if that person is American.
Ryan
Seth
Scott
Tyler
Tucker
Tanner
Virgil
Wendell

I love Adrian and Gideon. I like Garth, Seth and Virgil. I like Jamie on a little boy but don't think it's suitable for a grown man. I dislike most of the rest of your list, though some I'm neutral about.
I had a great-uncle by marriage named Edgar. Remember my went-crazy-when-she-hit-menopause Great Aunt Muriel? Uncle Edgar was her husband. He was such a nice, sweet old guy that it's funny to read your impression of Edgar.

Brock is such an ugly sound. I don't know why anyone would want to use it on a child. I don't care for most of the others either, with the exception of Ethan, Ian, Liam, Matthew, and Oliver. I don't much like for Adrian, Connor, or Martin but I wouldn't say I hate them.
I like creepy
I actually love Edgar cos it sounds like a character Vincent Price would ham up in an old horror film. I love that vibe.
I like Felix, but I must agree again. I like Gideon and maybe Cyrus too, although I know a really perverted hillbilly (I live in the home counties in the UK, so that's very odd indeed) type called Cyrus who may have ruined it for me.

Lol again
Totally agree with Edgar!! He was the bad guy in the Aristocats too.
There's more names on your boy list that I love then on your girls one.
I love Xander, Oliver, Leon and Liam (happy that Leo didn't make the list!) Jamie (like it better on a girl though) Julian, Conner, and Adrian is one of my all-time favourites.

You know, I've been trying to figure out for a while what puts me off the name Ian, which is considerably more "normal" than many other names I come across on a day-to-day basis. But you're right: it's one giant whine. Same goes for Neil.
Brock, to me, has always sounded like a douchey jock pumped full of steroids. I cannot shake that image for the life of me.
Garth also does sound like throw-up, and Ralph is a literal synonym for throwing up, so I agree with you on these as well.
I would like Felix, if it weren't such a cat name. (Same with Sebastian.)

I also hate...

Wendell (this is the carsick kid from "The Simpsons", isn't it?)
Virgil (virgin)
Tanner
Tucker
Tyler
Percy
Kyler
Keith
Gideon (YES. Something about the way it sounds makes me CRINGE.)
Garth (party on, Garth!)
Connor (so boring)
Brody
Brock

Going with the ones I agree with you on this time.
Adrian, Brock, Brody, Connor, Cyrus, Ethan (it's so whiny), Garth, Harvey, Ian, Jamie, Keith (makes me want to vomit, not once, not twice, but at least three times over), Kyler, Leon (yet I love most other Leo- names), Liam (bleurgh), Matthew (a bit of me dies every time I see a new baby named Matthew), Ryan, Seth, Tyler, Tucker, Tanner, Virgil (though it does remind me of Thunderbirds so points for that), Wendell
